Single Event Data Frame Processor: Backend to handle photoelectron resolved datastreams

sed-processor is a backend to process and bin multidimensional single-event datastreams, with the intended primary use case in multidimensional photoelectron spectroscopy using time-of-flight instruments.

It builds on Dask dataframes, where each column represents a multidimensional "coordinate" such as position, time-of-flight, pump-probe delay etc., and each entry represents one electron. The SedProcessor class provides a single user entry point, and provides functions for handling various workflows for coordinate transformation, e.g. corrections and calibrations.

Furthermore, "sed-processor" provides fast and parallelized binning routines to compute multidimensional histograms from the processed dataframes in a delayed fashion, thus reducing requirements on cpu power and memory consumption.

Finally, in contains several export routines, including export into the NeXus format with rich and standardized metadata annotation.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• pip

Steps

• Create a new virtual environment using either venv, pyenv, conda, etc. See below for an example.

python -m venv .sed-venv

• Activate your environment:

# On macOS/Linux
source .sed-venv/bin/activate

# On Windows
.sed-venv\Scripts\activate

• Install sed, distributed as sed-processor on PyPI:

pip install sed-processor[all]

• If you intend to work with Jupyter notebooks, it is helpful to install a Jupyter kernel for your environment. This can be done, once your environment is activated, by typing:

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=sed_kernel

• If you do not use Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab, you can skip the installing those dependencies

pip install sed-processor
