The interface between PYTHIA and NumPy

Project description

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/numpythia.svg

numpythia provides an interface between PYTHIA and NumPy allowing you to generate events as NumPy arrays of particle four-momenta. By default numpythia only depends on NumPy and builds internal copies of the PYTHIA and HepMC source code.

from numpythia import generate, STATUS, HAS_END_VERTEX, ABS_PDG_ID
from numpythia.testcmnd import get_cmnd

for event in generate(
      get_cmnd('w'), events=1,
      find=(STATUS == 1) & ~HAS_END_VERTEX &
           (ABS_PDG_ID != 12) & (ABS_PDG_ID != 14) & (ABS_PDG_ID != 16),
      random_state=1):
   print(event)

The dtype of each generated event is:

np.dtype([('E', 'f8'), ('px', 'f8'), ('py', 'f8'), ('pz', 'f8'), ('mass', 'f8'),
          ('prodx', 'f8'), ('prody', 'f8'), ('prodz', 'f8'), ('prodt', 'f8'),
          ('pdgid', 'i4'), ('status', 'i4')])

Also see pyjet for jet clustering.

Standalone Installation

To simply use the built-in PYTHIA and HepMC:

pip install --user -v numpythia

And you’re good to go!

Support for building against an external PYTHIA, Delphes, and much more will come soon.
