Pythia Photons

Simple python-based program for generating photon spectra for proton-proton collisions. Target centre-of-mass energies are $200$, $2760$ and $5020$ GeV for a series of $\hat{p}_T$ bins.

The program uses Just for task runs and Docker for replicability.

The project is managed by uv and needs just and docker to have been installed on the system

Help

1. To build the docker container, run docker build -t photons_pythia .
2. To run the docker container in interactive mode, run docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/app photons_pythia /bin/bash. Note that the -v $(pwd):/app is needed to make the directory accessible from outside of the container and make its data persistent after the simulations are done.
3. To format the code using Ruff, run uv run ruff format .
4. To format imports using Ruff, run uv run ruff check --select I --fix
