Enables simple simulation and Bayesian posterior analysis of recoil-event data from dark-matter direct-detection experiments under a wide variety of scattering theories.
Project description
dmdd
=========
This package enables simple simulation and Bayesian posterior analysis
of recoil-event data from dark-matter direct-detection experiments
under a wide variety of scattering theories. It includes the following
features:
* Enables calculation of the nuclear-recoil rates for a wide range of non-relativistic and relativistic scattering operators, including non-standard momentum-, velocity-, and spin-dependent rates,
* Accounts for the correct nuclear response functions for each scattering operator, as given in Anand et al. (2013).
* Takes into account the natural abundances of isotopes for a variety of experimental target elements.
Installation
------------
Install either using pip::
pip install dmdd
or by cloning the repository::
git clone https://github.com/veragluscevic/dmdd.git
cd dmdd
python setup.py install
Usage
------
For a quick tour of usage, check out the `tutorial notebook <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/veragluscevic/dmdd/blob/master/dmdd_tutorial.ipynb>`_; for more complete documentation, `read the docs <http://dmdd.rtfd.org>`_; and for the most important formulas and definitions regarding the ``rate_NR`` and ``rate_genNR`` modules, see `here <http://github.com/veragluscevic/dmdd/blob/master/rate_NR-and-genNR.pdf>`_.
