Abstract: The physics programme of the MEG II experiment can be extended with the search for new invisible particles produced in rare muon decays. The hunt for such elusive signals requires accurate simulations to characterise the detector response and estimate the experimental sensitivity. This work presents an improved simulation of muon decay in MEG II, based on McMule and Geant4.<br />Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, contribution to PM2021, version accepted for publication
