- pyjet is no longer maintained and is now archived.
- fastjet provides official FastJet bindings to Python and Awkward Array as the modern Pythonic jet-finding package in the Scikit-HEP ecosystem. Refer to the GitHub repository for details.
pyjet allows you to perform jet clustering with FastJet on NumPy arrays. By default pyjet only depends on NumPy and internally uses FastJet's standalone fjcore release. The interface code is written in Cython that then becomes compiled C++, so it's fast. Remember that if you use pyjet then you are using FastJet and should cite the papers listed here.
pyjet provides the cluster() function that takes a NumPy array as input and returns a ClusterSequence from which you can access the jets:
from pyjet import cluster
from pyjet.testdata import get_event
vectors = get_event()
sequence = cluster(vectors, R=1.0, p=-1)
jets = sequence.inclusive_jets() # list of PseudoJets
exclusivejets = sequence.exclusive_jets(3) # Find the cluster history when there are 3 jetsThe input is given in the form of a structured array in numpy. The first four fields of the input array vectors must be either:
np.dtype([('pT', 'f8'), ('eta', 'f8'), ('phi', 'f8'), ('mass', 'f8')])or if cluster(..., ep=True):
np.dtype([('E', 'f8'), ('px', 'f8'), ('py', 'f8'), ('pz', 'f8')])Note that the field names of the input array need not match 'pT', 'eta', 'phi', 'mass' etc. pyjet only assumes that the first four fields are those quantities. This array may also have additional fields of any type. Additional fields will then become attributes of the PseudoJet objects.
See the examples to get started:
To simply use the built-in FastJet source, from your virtual environment, run:
python -m pip install pyjetAnd you're good to go! If you have a old version of pip (<10), you will need to have Cython and Numpy already installed to build from source - however on most systems, you should get a binary wheel.

Before building FastJet you will need to install CGAL and GMP.
On a Debian-based system (Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev libcgal11v5 libgmp-dev libgmp10On an RPM-based system (Fedora):
sudo dnf install gmp.x86_64 gmp-devel.x86_64 CGAL.x86_64 CGAL-devel.x86_64On Mac OS:
brew install cgal gmp wgetThen run pyjet's install-fastjet.sh script:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scikit-hep/pyjet/master/install-fastjet.sh
chmod +x install-fastjet.sh
sudo ./install-fastjet.shNow install pyjet like:
python -m pip install numpy Cython
python setup.py install --external-fastjetpyjet will now use the external FastJet installation on your system.
The package is indifferent to particular units, which are merely "propagated" through the code. We do recommend that the HEP units be used, as defined in the units module of the hepunits package.
It is worth noting that the azimuthal angle phi is expressed in radians and varies from pi to pi.
If you want to setup for development:
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -e .[dev]
