PyRITE
PyRITE is a Python toolkit for Monte Carlo electron transport and X-ray emission in crystalline and amorphous solids. It models parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) and coherent bremsstrahlung (CBS) from crystals, alongside incoherent bremsstrahlung and characteristic X-ray emission.
Use the Python API for individual simulations or the command-line interface
for resumable parameter sweeps. PyRITE includes material catalogs, configurable
beams and detectors, trajectory export, and interactive analysis apps.
CPU execution is included; NVIDIA GPU acceleration is available through the
nvidia extra.
Install
Requires Python 3.13 or newer.
pip install pyrite-mc
pyrite tables fetch
pyrite run quickstart
Reference physics tables are downloaded separately by pyrite tables fetch.
For NVIDIA GPUs, install pyrite-mc[nvidia] with compatible CUDA drivers.
For pyrite.plots, install pyrite-mc[plots]; for the interactive marimo apps
(pyrite app ...), install pyrite-mc[apps].
Research status and license
