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.
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!
After that, you can install NeRCA.jl just like any other Julia package with Pkg:
using Pkg
Pkg.add("NeRCA")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)
