Asymptotic directions

Dictionary: asymptotic_params ยท Class: AsymptoticParams

Used by: cutoff, planet, flight

Computes the asymptotic viewing direction (the direction a particle arrived from, once far from Earth) at a fixed set of energy/rigidity levels, independent of the cutoff rigidity scan.

Key Type Default Description
asymptotic str "NO" "YES" enables asymptotic direction computation, "NO" disables it.
unit str "GeV" Unit the asymlevels values are given in: "GeV" or "GV".
asymlevels list [0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100, 300, 500, 700, 1000] The list of energy/rigidity levels (in unit) to compute an asymptotic direction for.
