ANTS2 development is stopped now to focus on ANTS3: https://github.com/andrmor/ANTS3bundle
ANTS2 is a simulation and experimental data processing package for Anger camera-type detectors. The package is intended for:
- Optimization of detector design and geometry using Monte Carlo simulations
- Optimization and development of event reconstruction techniques
- Adaptive (iterative) reconstruction of response of light sensors using flood field illumination data
- Reconstruction and filtering of events for experimental/simulation data using
- Statistical methods(including GPU-based implementations)
- Artificial Neural Networks
- kNN-based methods
Highlights:
- Tools for semi-supervised optimization
- GUI + JavaScript / Pythin scripting
- Particle simulations can be delegated to Geant4 (automatic interface)
- Implementation of NCrystal library for coherent neutron scattering
- Distributed simulation/reconstruction is supported
- Docker version (inlcudes Geant4 installation and X-win GUI) is available
It is an open source package developed using CERN ROOT and Qt framework (C++). Currently we are working on implementation of gemetry visualization using JSROOT library.
