Cosmic Flux

This example illustrates how the DepositionCosmics module is used to model the flux of cosmic muons in Allpix Squared. Python analysis code is included to calculate the flux through the detector from the MCParticle objects.

Usage

First change into the example directory. Run the simulation example from here:

allpix -c cosmic_flux.conf

To analyze the tracks of the MCParticles, issue

python analysis/analysis.py -l PATH_TO_ALLPIX_INSTALL/lib/libAllpixObjects.so

The library flag is only required when your allpix-squared/lib path is not in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Notice that the analysis script relies on the python modules uncertainties, tqdm, matplotlib and numpy.
