Convert the units of particle physics quantities.
Project description
NatPy
Convert the units of particle physics quantities
Packages needed:
- astropy
- numpy
- sympy
Basic Usage
Code levarages astropy.units.core.Unit
and astropy.units.quantity.Quantity
objects.
- Run
import numpy
andfrom astropy import units as u
. - Run
import natpy
. - Access physical constants with symbol:
>>> natpy.c
<Quantity 2.99792458e+08 m / s>
>>> natpy.hbar
<Quantity 1.05457182e-34 J s>
-
Specify base of natural units with
natpy.set_active_units()
. Pass a string corresponding to a list of default natural units, or a list of physical constants to set your own. List of default bases found innatpy/default_values.py
. (will markdown later) -
Run
natpy.convert()
to convert between units, including necessary factors of natural units. Pass just unit objects to obtain conversion factors. Pass quantity objects to perform conversions. E.g.
# kg to keV
>>> natpy.convert(u.kg, u.keV)
5.6173581670146864e+32
# Electron mass
>>> me = natpy.convert(9.11e-31 * u.kg, u.keV)
>>> me
<Quantity 511.74132902 keV>
# Energy of electron with momentum of 1 MeV
>>> p = 1 * u.MeV
>>> E = np.sqrt(p**2 + me**2)
# Convert to SI units
>>> natpy.convert(E,u.J)
<Quantity 1.79926309e-13 J>
Note: Summing quanties requires conventionally equivalent units.
