Installation instructions

PyββSens relies in a couple of external libraries for a number of tasks. You'll need to install them in order to get a working copy of PyββSens:

• SciPy
• ROOT

The installation of ROOT should be straight-forward, especially if you can use one of the available binaries. The installation of SciPy may be a more involved. Linux user should try to use the package manager of their distribution (apt, yum, etc.). The simplest approach for Mac users is to use the Superpack script: http://fonnesbeck.github.io/ScipySuperpack/

Once you've installed those two dependencies, you'll be ready to clone the PyββSens git repository:

git clone https://github.com/jmalbos/pybbsens.git

To check if everything works go to the subdirectory examples and try:

python IsotopeConstantA.py

you should get the following output

Isotope A [meV (kg yr)^-1/2]

Xe136 909

Ge76 1293

Cd116 0

Mo100 0

Zr96 0

Ca48 1303

Nd150 0

Te130 750

Se82 681

Pd110 0

Sn124 928

Then try:

python XeExperiment.py

you will get the files:

XeExp_0.0.txt

XeExp_0.01.txt

XeExp_0.001.txt

which you can plot with gnuplot (for example)

then try:

python EXO200.py

and wait a while until you get the projected sensitivity of EXO-200 (according to the Feldman Counsins formalism that we use in this library and the data published by EXO-200 in
