calzone 1.1.1

A Geant4 Python wrapper.

Calzone

Calzone (CALorimeter ZONE) is a Python package built on top of Geant4. It was developed in the context of geosciences with the objective of studying the emission of radioactivity from volcanoes (Terray et al., 2020), and in particular to simulate the response of gamma spectrometers deployed in the field. To this end, Calzone was developed in conjunction with Goupil (Niess et al., 2024), a backward gamma transport engine, and is interoperable with the latter. Yet, both packages can be used entirely independently, if necessary.

Please refer to the online documentation for further information.

Installation

Binary distributions of Calzone are available from PyPI, for Linux x86_64, e.g. as

pip3 install calzone

Alternatively, in order to build Calzone from the source, a working Geant4 installation is required. Please refer to the corresponding documentation entry for further instructions.
