[!WARNING] The Danton interface is currently being upgraded to Python. See release v0.4 for the previous interface.

Description

Danton is a Python package designed specifically for the sampling of tau decay from ultra-high energy neutrinos interacting with the Earth's surface. It is capable of running in forward or backward Monte Carlo, and can be also be configured to sample tau fluxes instead of decay densities, or to sample transmitted neutrino fluxes.

The interface has been designed with simplicity in mind. That is, Monte Carlo particles injected into the simulation geometry as a numpy.ndarray, and numpy.ndarrays of Monte Carlo states are returned. This basic workflow is illustrated below,

import danton

simulation = danton.Simulation()
particles = danton.particles(10000, energy=1E+09, elevation=1.0)
result = simulation.run(particles)
