chromo 0.5.5

What's Changed

• fix EposLHC rng reproduction
• Lower ecm_min for EPOS-LHC
• Include 3.13 and numpy 2 support for binaries
• Windows support has been temporarily disabled, likely due to problems with F2PY. We'll try re-enabling support in near future.

More substantial changes and new models are incoming and there are a couple of issues that need help with fixing. If you want to contribute, let us know.

chromo 0.5.1

What's Changed

• Fix for certain RIVET analyses that need the inelastic cross section for each event in the hepmc output
• Remove some debug printout

chromo 0.5.0

What's Changed

• Support for gamma-gamma collisions using the specific EventKinematicsMassless kinematics
• Python 3.12 Compatibility and binary wheels
• SIBYLL*:
  - The main Sibyll* model is available from chromo.models.Sibyll23StarMixed the other variants can be accessed from chromo.extra_models.SibyllStarRho (for example)
• QGSJET 01d, II-03 and II-04:
  - More detailed information about interaction cross sections (total, diffractive, inelastic, etc.) for hadron-nucleon collisions
  - For nuclei - projectiles heavier than proton - this is also possible at the cost of computational time by passing full_AA = True flag. Note that as in the case of DPMJet, these cross sections are calculated using "Glauber" MC and take some time to compute. The number of trials can be adjusted by setting model.glauber_trials = 10000 or a reasonable number.
  - By default, cross sections for nuclear targets (h-A and A-A) will be read out from precomputed tables, however only inelastic ones are available.
  - For some current technical reasons, hadron-nucleus (h-A) cross sections are always taken from tables.
  - Updated qgsjet tests, testing for cross section
• DPMJET Update:
  • Updated to latest DPMJET III and PHOJET 19.3.7
  • The models support again photon-nucleus, and photon-hadron, and photon-photon collisions. For non-nuclear targets the results between PHOJET and DPMJET should/are identical, Use PHOJET in this case, since it is easier to debug.

chromo 0.4.1

This is a maintenance release

Some highlights:

1. Repairs to the event history and pre-/appending beam particle info can now be optionally disabled by setting generator._restore_beam_and_history = False to save some CPU time when it is not needed. By default it remains on and is required for hepmc3 output.
2. Fixed bugs in QGSJET cross section function when it was called with nuclear or meson primary. Fixed major bug in QGSJET-II cross section readout. qgsect supports only 3 types of primaries and not all the known particles.
3. Cross section readout fixed for SIBYLL with meson primaries (where p1.A is None)
4. Implemented missing cross section readout for SIBYLL 2.1
5. Further minor technical improvements and cosmetics
