Abstract
The ROOT-based simulator for ray tracing (ROBAST) is an open-source C++ library to simulate various types of cosmic-ray (CR) and gamma-ray telescopes. It is used in multiple purposes in all the different telescope designs of the Cherenkov Telescope Array and is a promising tool for use in other future projects in optics simulations. We have released ROBAST 3 that supports interference calculations in multilayer coating in addition to geometrical optics. Here, we present its new functionality and several recent applications in future CR telescopes.
