Overview of available Antenna Models

The following antenna models are available in NuRadioReco. The headings are the unique identifiers of the antenna model that need to specified as antenna_type in the detector description.

All antenna models are stored on a central data server and are downloaded automatically on-demand whenever the user requests the antenna model for the first time.

For developers: If you add new an antenna model please add it to this list and send me (Christian) the antenna model so that I can put it on our central server.
