Linux (Tested on Ubuntu 16.04)
This version was tested with
- python3
- Cython 0.27 or newer
- GNU Make v. 4.1
Install e.g. with
sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install cython
(Download e.g. with git clone https://github.com/jbrage/ExcitonQuenching)
Compile the cython code used to solve the Blanc equation for a given ion and scintillator
cd ExcitonQuenching/EQ_cythonized_PDE && make
which creates the shared object evolveDensitiesCython.so.
Run an example where the BCF-12 scintillator is exposed to a helium ion at several energies:
