sipm_simulations

This repo defines a relatively simple framework for simulating scintillation events from incident X-rays and the response of a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM).

One of the inputs to this simulation package is data obtained from GEANT4 raytracing. This input captures the geometric properties of the detector you'd like to simulate.

Order of operations

---

1. Run generate_json.ipynb (in examples/)
   • This generates a json file containing the scintillator crystal properties for use in the simulations.
2. Checkout simulations.ipynb in examples to get a feel for how to use this framework.

Installation

---

git clone https://github.com/umn-impish/sipm_simulations.git
cd sipm_simulations
pip install -e .
