calzone 0.4.1

A Geant4 Python wrapper.

Calzone

(CALorimeter ZONE)

[!WARNING] This is work in progress.

Description

CalZone is a Geant4 Python wrapper for simulating the energy deposition by high-energy particles in a calorimeter. The interface has been designed with simplicity in mind. Primary particles are injected into the simulation volume as a numpy.ndarray, and a numpy.ndarray of energy deposits is returned. The Monte Carlo geometry is encoded in a Python dict which can be loaded from configuration files, e.g. using JSON, TOML or YAML formats. This basic workflow is illustrated below,

import calzone

simulation = calzone.Simulation("geometry.toml")
particles = calzone.particles(10000, energy=0.5, position=(0,0,1))
deposits = simulation.run(particles)
