PUMAS performs the transport of relativistic μ or τ in both forward and backward Monte Carlo. The library is written in C99 with the Standard Library as sole dependency. PUMAS is thread safe by design. The library also allows to generate muons or taus energy loss tables in the Particle Data Group (PDG) format. A compilation of pre-computed material tables for PUMAS is available from the pumas-materials project. For muons one can also use the whole set of tabulations provided online by the PDG. Note however that those are less accurate than PUMAS ones above 100 TeV due to improvements on the photonuclear cross-section (see e.g. Sokalski et al.).
