Summary:

Abstract
A design method, which combines a genetic algorithm (GA) with Monte-Carlo simulation, is established and applied to two different types of Cherenkov detectors, namely, Gas Cherenkov Detector (GCD) and Gamma Reaction History (GRH). For accelerating the optimization program, open Message Passing Interface (MPI) is used in the Geant4 simulation. Compared with the traditional optical ray-tracing method, the performances of these detectors have been improved with the optimization method. The efficiency for GCD system, with a threshold of 6.3 MeV, is enhanced by20% and time response improved by7.2%. For the GRH system, with threshold of 10 MeV, the efficiency is enhanced by76% in comparison with previously published results.
