API#

class snf_simulations.detector.Detector(volume: float, proton_density: float, name: str | None = None)[source]#

Class representing an antineutrino detector.

Variables:

  • volume – Volume of the detector in cubic meters.

  • proton_density – Proton density of the detector material per cubic centimeter.

  • name – An optional name for the detector.

calculate_event_rate(spec: snf_simulations.spec.Spectrum, distance: float, efficiency: float = 1) → float[source]#

Calculate the expected event rate in the detector for a given spectrum.

Parameters:

  • spec – Antineutrino spectrum.

  • distance – Distance from the source to the detector in meters.

  • efficiency – Detection efficiency.

Returns:

Event rate in s^-1.
