D = C1 ** C2The tensor product is a simplicial module $D$ whose $i$th component is the tensor product of the degree i components of $C1$ and $C2$. The face/degeneracy maps are given by the tensor products of the face and degeneracy maps of the original objects.
As the next example illustrates, the simplicial tensor product in general does not normalize to give an object that is isomorphic to the classically defined tensor product of complexes.

If one of the arguments is a module, it is considered as a complex concentrated in homological degree 0.

Because the tensor product can be regarded as the total complex of a double complex, each term of the tensor product comes with pairs of indices, labelling the summands.
