Quenching¶

Implements recombination of ionised electrons using the Box (Baller 2013) or Birks (Amoruso 2004) model.

Module to implement the quenching of the ionized electrons through the detector

larndsim.quenching.quench(tracks, mode)[source]¶

This CUDA kernel takes as input an array of track segments and calculates the number of electrons and photons that reach the anode plane after recombination. It is possible to pick among two models: Box (Baller, 2013 JINST 8 P08005) or Birks (Amoruso, et al NIM A 523 (2004) 275).

Parameters:

tracks (numpy.ndarray) – array containing the tracks segment information
mode (int) – recombination model (physics.BOX or physics.BIRKS).
