diffuse-neutrino-flux 0.3.0

Lightweight package to plot diffuse neutrino flux measurements

Add diffuse neutrino flux measurements to your plots

Usage

The central object is the Spectrum. Curently implented spectral shapes are the SinglePowerLaw, BrokenPowerLaw and the LogParabola. The impleneted measurements can be found in diffuse_neutrino_flux/data/measurements.json. They can be shown by

from diffuse_neutrino_flux import Spectrum
print(Spectrum.list_available_spectra())

The spectrum can be plotted. If a contour file is available, also the corresponding butterfly can be shown. The energy_scaling parameter can be used to scale the energy axis. All other parameters are passed to the matplotlib plot function.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from diffuse_neutrino_flux import Spectrum

s = Spectrum.from_key("joint15")

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
s.plot(ax=ax, label="Joint15", color="blue", energy_scaling=2)
s.plot_cl(ax=ax, color="blue", alpha=0.5, energy_scaling=2)
ax.set_xlabel("Energy [GeV]")
ax.set_ylabel("Flux [GeV cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ sr$^{-1}$]")
ax.set_xscale("log")
ax.set_yscale("log")
ax.legend()
plt.show()

Adding new measurements

To add a new measurement, you need to create a new entry in diffuse_neutrino_flux/data/measurements.json. To be able to plot the butterfly, you also need to create a contour file. Simply trace the contour scan in the parameter plane and add the data as a CSV file in diffuse_neutrino_flux/data/ as <new_measurement_name>_contour<confidence_level>.csv.
