PriNCe-data-utils

Data tables and utilities to construct the database file for PriNCe

The PriNCe UHECR propagation code requires tabulated data for photon fields, photo-nuclear and photo-hadronic interactions. This collection of utilities, mainly the jupyter notebook construct_prince_database.ipynb, will generate the database file in HDF5 format from various sources. To extend the database one can follow the implementation and extend the file with custom data.

A second database file is generated by make_particle_dict.py

These tools were developed and used mainly in Heinze et al., Astrophys.J. 873 (2019)

Requirements

This is a light pure python code without specific requirements to the architecture.

Dependencies:

  • PriNCe propagation code
  • python-3.7 or later
  • particletools
  • numpy
  • scipy
  • pandas
  • astropy
  • six
  • h5py
  • jupyter notebook or jupyter lab

Usage

  1. Make sure the dependencies are installed pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. Launch with jupyter notebook|lab construct_prince_database.ipynb. The notebook generates an HDF database file that can be copied to prince-dir/prince_cr/data folder.
  3. To create a new nuclide/particle property database process the notebook construct_particle_nuclide_database.ipynb. Then copy the file particle_data.ppo to prince-dir/prince_cr/data folder.

Experimenting with data

Some example/debugging notebooks used for cross-checking and visualizing data are located in the notebooks directory. Have a look.
