icecube.radcube.modules.SimulateFromStar module

class icecube.radcube.modules.SimulateFromStar.SimulateFromStar(ctx)

Bases: I3Module

Simulates shower on a specified array using simulations on a star shaped pattern. This class does three things:

  1. Loads up a star pattern simulation into an instance of the icecube.radcube.StarInterpolator class

  2. Puts the other meta-data into the frame (e.g. I3Particle)

  3. Can randomize the core location or match the core location to an existing particle in the frame

The intended use cases for this module are:

  • Make a radio-only simulation, creating all frames Q frames, as needed

  • Add radio data to an existing simulation in the QFrame

In the first case set, PiggybackMode = False and choose a randomization scheme for the cores. You can either use the RandomCoreCenter and a CoreRadius about that center, sampled uniformly on the disk. The number of times you want to choose a random core is set by NThrows. This needs it’s own RNG and due to limitations in IceTray, C++ implemented services cannot be used by python-implemented modules. So this class has it’s own RNG instance, provide it a RNGSeed.

Or, you can supply a list of I3Positions though which the axis will go.

In the second case, set PiggybackModel = True and set the PiggybackPrimary to the name of the I3Particle in the frame that will be used as the core location, directly.
