A python module to use the build-up factors derived from methods described in the preprint available here.
- Free software: LGPLv3+
- Documentation: https://buildup.readthedocs.io (available soon).
- Load existent build-up data for any response function (air exposure, tissue dose, ...).
- Obtain the uncertainty of the calculated factor due the numeric approximations.
- Generate and process FLUKA simulations to extend the database.
To install the latest release, assuming you have a Python distribution with pip:
$ git clone https://github.com/Dih5/buildup.git $ cd buildup $ pip install .
This package includes the build-up description for the most commonly used materials. In the future, a method to download only the desired materials from the applications might be added.
