GPos is a simple-to-use and open source code developed to facilitate the use of the Monte Carlo based Geant4 C++ parallel toolkit to simulate particle sources where a relativistic beam is sent into a solid target as well as the particles propagation in vacuum / trough a thin lens.
In order to learn how to install and run the code, please see the online documentation: https://gpos.readthedocs.io
To know more details about the source code, please refer to the doxygen <https://GPos.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_static/doxyhtml/html/index.html>_ documentation or use doxygen and graphviz to build it locally via:
$ cd GPos/docs
$ doxygen Doxygenand point your browser to the doxyhtml/index.html file generated.
Feel free to open an issue on this repo to report bugs and request changes.
The latest release is always available with the releases/latest tag.
GPos was built by Ligia Diana Amorim (LDianaAmorim@lbl.gov) dedicated to the simulation of future positron sources employing the unique laser-plasma infrastructure available at the BELLA center of LBNL.
