Goupil: A Monte Carlo engine for the backward transport of low-energy gamma-rays
Valentin Niess, Kinson Vernet, Luca Terray
Goupil is a software library designed for the Monte Carlo transport of low-energy gamma-rays, such as those emitted from radioactive isotopes. The library is distributed as a Pytho…
Alouette: Yet another encapsulated TAUOLA, but revertible
Valentin Niess
We present an algorithm for simulating reverse Monte Carlo decays given an existing forward Monte Carlo decay engine. This algorithm is implemented in the Alouette library, a TAUOL…
The PUMAS library
Valentin Niess
The PUMAS library is a transport engine for muon and tau leptons in matter. It can operate with a configurable level of details, from a fast deterministic CSDA mode to a detailed M…
TURTLE: A C library for an optimistic stepping through a topography
Valentin Niess, Anne Barnoud, Cristina Cârloganu +1
TURTLE is a C library providing utilities allowing to navigate through a topography described by a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The library has been primarily designed for the Mo…
DANTON: a Monte-Carlo sampler of from interacting with the Earth
Valentin Niess, Olivier Martineau-Huynh
A preliminary version (v0.2.1) of the DANTON Monte-Carlo package is presented. DANTON allows the exclusive sampling of (decaying) generated by interactions with the Earth…
Backward Monte-Carlo applied to muon transport
Valentin Niess, Anne Barnoud, Cristina Carloganu +1
We discuss a backward Monte-Carlo technique for muon transport problem, with emphasis on its application in muography. Backward Monte-Carlo allows exclusive sampling of a final sta…
