Python port of Degrad: http://degrad.web.cern.ch/degrad/ Calculates degradation spectra for particle interactions in gaseous mixtures of up to 6 gases.

• Python 3.x
• gfortran
• make

python3 -m pip install --upgrade  git+https://github.com/jeremyferguson/pygrad.git --user

The shell script config.sh sets all the necessary environment variables, so it is necessary to run source config.sh upon opening a new terminal window.

• Loads in cross section data for gas mixture
• Calculates fluorescent absorption distance
• does preliminary Monte Carlo calculations

• The library can be used by importing the pygrad module, setting the parameters, and running. The script PygradRun.py provides an example of this.

• Documentation is generated by Doxygen and can be found in the docs folder.

• Tests are created using the unittest module and can be run on their own by python
• To run all tests: python3 -m unittest discover -s tests You can also go into the tests directory and run any of the test files individually.
