Antenna Models ========================================= 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 the sha1sum = hashlib.sha1() to this list and send Christian the antenna model so that he can put it on our central server.
