NuRadioReco.modules.io.coreas.readCoREASStationGrid module

class NuRadioReco.modules.io.coreas.readCoREASStationGrid.readCoREAS

Bases: object

coreas input module for fixed grid of stations. This module distributes core positions randomly within a user defined area and calculates the electric field at the detector positions as specified in the detector description by choosing the closest antenna of the star shape pattern simulation

Methods

begin(input_files, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax[, ...])	begin method
run(detector[, output_mode])	Read in a random sample of stations from a CoREAS file.

end

begin(input_files, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, n_cores=10, seed=None, log_level=0)

begin method

initialize readCoREAS module

Parameters:

input_files: input files

list of coreas hdf5 files

xmin: float

minimum x coordinate of the area in which core positions are distributed

xmax: float

maximum x coordinate of the area in which core positions are distributed

ymin: float

minimum y coordinate of the area in which core positions are distributed

ynax: float

maximum y coordinate of the area in which core positions are distributed

n_cores: number of cores (integer)

the number of random core positions to generate for each input file

seed: int (default: None)

Seed for the random number generation. If None is passed, no seed is set

run(detector, output_mode=0)

Read in a random sample of stations from a CoREAS file. For each position the closest observer is selected and a simulated event is created for that observer.

Parameters:

detector: Detector object

Detector description of the detector that shall be simulated

output_mode: integer (default 0)

• 0: only the event object is returned

• 1: the function reuturns the event object, the current inputfilename, the distance between the choosen station and the requested core position,

  and the area in which the core positions are randomly distributed
