Abstract
The TAIGA experiment (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma-ray Astronomy) combines heterogeneous arrays of imaging and non-imaging Cherenkov light detectors for registration of extensive air showers. Monte Carlo simulation of the whole detector response was carried out and is described in this article.
