CVISTA2

A data visualisation GUI for ntuple files of opaque scintillator detectors simulation based on Ratpac-two simulation and analysis package.

Dependencies

• uproot 5.4.1
• numpy 1.24.2
• awkward 2.6.9
• matplotlib 3.6.3
• particle 0.25.2
• PyQt5

Use pip install <module> if needed.

Developed and tested with Python 3.11.6.

Usage

python CVISTA2.py <input_file> [event/entry number]

• input_file is a ntuple output file of Ratpac-two.
• event number is an optional argument. If given, the GUI will display this event at start up.

Radio buttons

The radio buttons on the top of the GUI indicate what kind of information you want to be plotted on the histograms.

• nPE: the number of simulation PEs collected by each SiPM.
• First Hit Time: the simulated time of the first PE to reach a SiPM.
• SiPM Charge: the integrated charge of each SiPM
• SiPM Time: the pulse start time of each SiPM
