This release is for the archive for the JOSS publication for PHITS Tools. It reflects the state of the codebase as of release version 1.6.0 and the final JOSS paper following the JOSS review process.

PHITS Tools is a Python package for automatically processing, organizing, and visualizing output from the PHITS general purpose Monte Carlo particle transport code and easing/expediting further analyses. (PHITS can be obtained at https://phits.jaea.go.jp/.)

Specifically, PHITS Tools seeks to be a universal PHITS output parser, supporting output from all tallies, both normal "standard" output as well as dump file outputs (in plaintext and binary formats), reading in the numeric data and metadata and storing them in Python objects for further use and analysis in Python. PHITS Tools is also coupled to and distributed with the DCHAIN Tools submodule for processing of DCHAIN output. PHITS Tools also contains a number of functions for assisting in further analyses. You can read more about how to use PHITS Tools and its output in its online documentation: lindt8.github.io/PHITS-Tools/
