CRPropa3-data

Tools to generate data files for CRPropa 3. An example to create the necessary data files for a custom photon field can be found in the CRPropa3 documentation.

CRPropa's default data files

  • calc_all.py

Interactions between cosmic ray nuclei and background photons

  • calc_pairproduction.py : electron pair production
  • calc_photopionproduction.py : photo-pion production
  • calc_photodisintegration.py : photodisintegration
  • calc_elasticscattering.py : elastic scattering on the nuclear structure

Interactions between cosmic ray photons / electrons and background photons

  • calc_electromagnetic.py
    • photon : pair and double-pair production
    • electrons : triplet pair production and inverse Compton scattering

Other processes

  • calc_decay.py : nuclear decays
  • calc_synchrotron.py : synchrotron radiation of charged particles
  • calc_mass.py : table of nuclear masses

Helper modules

  • photonField.py : collection of background photon fields (CMB, EBL, URB)
  • interactionRate.py : functions to calculate interaction rates with isotropic photon fields
  • gitHelp.py : function to include git-hash in tabulated data

Galactic magnetic lenses

  • create_lens.py : create a magnetic lens from backtracking simualtions. See ./create_lens.py for details.
