Open-Source Tool Accelerates Design of Neutrino Detection Arrays
Researchers have released NuRadioMC, a freely available software platform that lets scientists rapidly simulate and test radio-based neutrino detectors without expensive prototyping. The tool could slash development timelines for next-generation particle physics experiments, lowering barriers for institutions competing to build the most sensitive cosmic ray observatories.
Originaltitel: Using NuRadioMC to study the performance of UHE radio neutrino detectors
<p>NuRadioMC is an open-source, Python-based simulation and reconstruction framework for radio detectors of ultra-high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays. Its modular design makes NuRadioMC suitable for use with a range of past, current and future detectors. In addition, the recent deployment of a complete documentation as well as a pip release make NuRadioMC relatively easy to learn and use. Here, we outline the features currently available and under development in NuRadioMC, with a focus on its usage to simulate and study in-ice radio neutrino detectors.</p>
