NICA Experiment

This repository belongs to the MPD project and contains software developed during the research to clean up data obtained after running the ACTS tool.

Repository organization:

1. The file usage_example.py contains an example of processing data from one event using all the algorithms we have developed
2. analyze folder - contains software for analyzing the operation of algorithms (including visualization)
3. data folder - contains examples of test data
4. data_processing folder - contains software for loading data or type casting
5. post_processing folder - Contains the post-processing methods we developed

OS and Python:

All tests were performed in Python-3.10 on Linux-22.04, Windows 10/11

Installation:

pip install pandas pyopengl PyQt6 pyqtgraph scipy

# to load large files
git-lfs pull

Also you have to install tensorflow in your venv if you want to test post-processing based on Neural Net

Visualization:

Navigation:

1. Mouse wheel - Zoom
2. LMB - Rotate the object
3. CTRL + LMB - Move an object

Hotkeys:

1. Press 'i' - Enable/Disable display of track indexes
2. Press 's' - Enable/Disable display of data from simulation
3. Press 't' - Enable/Disable display of track arcs
4. When you enable multiple post-processing methods at the same time, you can use the number keys (1, 2, etc.) to switch visualization between them
