Installation

From PyPI:

pip install arc-actris

Development installation with venv:

git clone https://github.com/nikolaos-siomos/arc-actris.git
cd arc
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

Development installation with Conda:

git clone https://github.com/nikolaos-siomos/arc-actris.git
cd arc
conda create -n arc-actris python=3.11
conda activate arc-actris
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

Basic usage

from arc_actris import arc

rrs = arc(incident_wavelength=355)
cross_section_355 = rrs.cross_section(cross_section_type="full")

print(cross_section_355)

Backscattering and molecular linear depolarization ratio, MLDR:

from arc_actris import arc

rrb = arc(incident_wavelength=355, backscattering=True)

print(rrb.cross_section(cross_section_type="full"))
print(rrb.mldr(mldr_type="full"))
