mcray

Framework for Monte Carlo simulation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and electromagnetic cascade propagation.

Authors:

Oleg Kalashev and Alexander Korochkin

Features

• propagation of protons, neutrons, nuclei, electon-photon cascade and neutrino can be simulated
• support for interactions with arbitray photon background including trajectory simulation for secondary particles, produced in the interactions
• trajectories of individual particles in presence of magnetic field can be calculated

Applications

CRbeam - cosmic ray beam simulation.

PyBeam - python bindings for mcray library (not prepared yet)

Installation

• Install GSL with headers: sudo apt-get install libgsl-dev
• Install required libraries to external folder
• Build code:

cd bin
cmake -S ../src/app/crbeam -B .
make
