A Python package for the quantitative analysis of the interaction of energetic x-rays with matter. This package is named after one of the discoverers of X-rays, Wilhelm Röntgen. This is a SunPy-affiliated package though it does not depend on the sunpy package. We appreciate their support!
To install this package:
pip install roentgen
To install this package for development:
pip install -e .'[dev]'
Our documentation is hosted on readthedocs.
This package provides a GUI interface to quickly investigate the absorption and transmission of x-rays through different materials. This tool is similar to that provided the Center for X-ray Optics. To install the dependencies to use the GUI:
pip install -e .'[gui]'
You can then run it locally with the following command:
bokeh serve --show <roengten_directory>/gui
An online version of this tool (usually) working at https://roentgen-069cf7954bb2.herokuapp.com/gui.
This package includes on a number of data files which were translated and imported from a few sources. The package developers would like to thank the following data providers
- The U.S National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- The Center for X-ray Optics and Advanced Light Source at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
For more information see the README in the data directory.
You can find a comparison of the output of this package with that provided by the Center for X-ray Optics on our documentation.
