pyrex.generation.FileGenerator

class pyrex.generation.FileGenerator(files, slice_range=100, interaction_model=<class 'pyrex.particle.CTWInteraction'>)

Class to generate neutrino events from simulation file(s).

Generates neutrinos by pulling their attributes from a (list of) simulation output file(s). Designed to make reproducing simulations easier.

Parameters

filesstr or list of str

List of file names containing neutrino event information. If only a single file name is provided, creates a list with that file alone.

slice_rangeint, optional

Number of events to load into memory at a time from the files. Increasing this value should result in an improvement in speed, while decreasing this value should result in an improvement in memory consumption.

interaction_modeloptional

Class used to describe the interactions of the stored particles.

Warning

This generator only supports Event objects containing a single level of Particle objects. Any dependencies among Particle objects will be ignored and they will all appear in the root level.
