  • Added I3PrimaryPulseMapper from sim-services to generate an I3ParticleIDMap that associates MCPulses with the primary of the particle that produced them. PMTResponseSimulator adds an I3ParticleIDMap that maps pulses with the particle that produced them but often these secondary particles are not saved in order to save space on disc.

  • Added a merged I3MCTree that combines SignalMCTree and BackgroundMCTree in order to keep output compatible with previous versions.
