nu-waves 1.0.1

Flavour-oscillation probabilities for neutrinos with numpy/torch backends.

Neutrino Interferometry - nu_waves Python library

What is it?

Neutrino Interferometry, or nu_waves, is a simple Python library that calculate flavor oscillation of neutrinos. You can input your own parameters and get the oscillation probabilities.

How to install?

pip install nu-waves

Features

• Embedded GPU acceleration (MPS, CUDA)
• Oscillation framework with N neutrinos
• Vacuum oscillations
• Custom smearing function (L and E)
• Constant matter MSW
• Multi-layer matter MSW
• Earth model (PREM) with cosz
• Adiabatic transitions

Some nice pictures
