Signal Contribution and practical footprint estimations for cosmic-ray neutron sensors (CRNS)

Interactive calculations

Run the Jupyter Notebook file to play with field areas, footprints, and signal contributions.

Run it online

Try it out interactively on Binder!

Interactively estimate the contribution of remote fields:

Interactively calculate the practical footprint distance:

Install locally

The scripts can be used locally with own data.

1. Download the repository,
2. Install Python 3 and Jupyter (-Lab)
3. Install the required packages with pip install -r requirements.txt,
4. Launch the Jupyter notebook
5. Select paths to your own scenario images
6. Run and have fun :-)
