pyMPPost 0.0.9.7

Post MCNP-Polimi Simulation Processing

pyMPPost

This project provides a suite of analysis tools for processing time-resolved particle detection data, particularly for applications involving scintillator detectors, neutron/gamma discrimination, and nuclear nonproliferation measurements. It includes core modules for:

• Calculating pulse height using detailed material and detector modeling.
• Measuring cross-correlation between detector pairs to assess timing and event structure.
• Computing multiplicity statistics using shift-register logic for coincidence counting.
• Executing complete post-processing workflows from MCNP-Polimi simulation outputs via command line.

Each module is optimized for high-throughput data analysis and can be integrated into a larger experimental or simulation pipeline. Where applicable, performance-critical computations are offloaded to Cython extensions, and Dask is used to support scalable distributed processing.

Installation

You can install the latest release from PyPI:

pip install pyMPPost

Or, for development:

git clone https://github.com/your-org/pyMPPost.git
cd pyMPPost
pip install -e .

Ensure you have a working Python 3.9+ environment and Cython installed if you're compiling from source.
