KESACCO: Keen Event Simulation and Analysis for CTA Cluster Observations

This repository contains a software dedicated to the simulation of CTA event files corresponding to the observation of galaxy clusters. The event files can then be analyzed to produce CTA analysis results.

• clustpipe.py : Main code that defines the class ClusterPipe.

• clustpipe_common.py : Subclass that defines common tools.

• clustpipe_sim.py : Subclass that deal with event simulation.

• clustpipe_ana.py : Subclass that deal with observation analysis.

• clustpipe_ana_plot.py : Sub-modules dedicated to run automatic plots related to analysis.

• clustpipe_title.py : Title for the software.

• Tools : Repository that gather several useful libraries and run ctools scripts. It also contain the compact source, background, and observation setup classes.

• notebook : Repository where to find Jupyter notebook used for development/example.

Overview of the code
