NeRCA.jl Package
Introduction
Welcome to the NeRCA.jl (Neutrino Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) package documentation. This piece of software was written for those who like to explore the KM3NeT world with a new, modern and ultra fast programming language designed for scientific computing: Julia. The I/O for KM3NeT related data is provided by KM3io.jl.
Installation
NeRCA.jl was initially registered on the officially Julia package registry but since version 0.11.0, it resides in the KM3NeT Julia Registry. To install the latest version, you first need to add the KM3NeT Julia Registry to your local registries. Follow the instructions in its README or simply do
git clone https://git.km3net.de/common/julia-registry ~/.julia/registries/KM3NeTAfter that, you can install NeRCA.jl just like any other Julia package with Pkg:
using Pkg
Pkg.add("NeRCA")General information
NeRCA.jl started as a hobby project and contained all kinds of KM3NeT related stuff. In 2023, many of the functionalities were extracted to distinct packages. Here are some examples:
- KM3io.jl: general I/O (reading ROOT, DETX and other KM3NeT files)
- KM3DB.jl: accessing the KM3NeT Oracle Database (StreamDS, run setups, detector calibrations, ...)
- KM3Acoustics.jl: Acoustics stuff, simulation of acoustic events, calibration procedures, ..
- KM3NeTTestData.jl: A collection of KM3NeT related sample files (used for tests)
