snap-combine

Code for combining SN significance from several detectors/experiments.

This package contains plugins for SNAP framework.

Documentation

Installation

python -m pip install snap-combine

Example

Example configurations provided the examples dir use these steps to

• client_sender.yml: generate client data, calculate significance and send it (via ipc zeromq socket) to combiner node
• combine.yml: receive client significance time series, combine them and apply thresholds.

On client side run

DETECTOR="det_name_1" snap_run client_sender.yml

Optionally in another terminal session:

DETECTOR="det_name_2" snap_run client_sender.yml

In another session (combination side):

snap_run combine.yml

You should see the monitoring ticks for all nodes. Also you should see the files with the data output: data_received.dat,data_combined.dat and data_triggered.dat.

After about 120s from the client start, a supernova signal will be emitted, so the significance becomes elevated, and the Trigger counter will advance.
