       abstract = "The hydraulic complexity of hardrock aquifers with, for example, fast fluid flow in
         fractures, storage effects in the rock matrix, high contrasts in permeability, and a high spatial
         variability of structures requires a high standard of experimental and numerical techniques. This
         paper focuses on the interpretation of tracer tests. The sensitivity of tracer breakthrough curves
         with respect to flow and transport parameters is analyzed for different model types in order to
         identify the relevant flow and transport processes. This leads to a better understanding of the
         system behavior and facilitates the interpretation of experimental results. The technique of
         automatic differentiation is used to evaluate the sensitivities. The main advantage of this
         technique is that the sensitivities are calculated without truncation error.",
