# PUMAS ![Build](https://github.com/niess/pumas/workflows/Build/badge.svg) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/niess/pumas/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/niess/pumas) [![Documentation](https://readthedocs.org/projects/pumas/badge/?version=latest)](https://pumas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

( **S**emi **A**nalytical **MU**ons -or taus- **P**ropagation, *backwards* )

## Description

The PUMAS library allows to transport muon or tau leptons by forward or backward

Monte Carlo. The library is written in C99 with the standard library as sole

dependency. PUMAS is thread safe by design. The library also allows to generate

stopping power tables in the Particle Data Group

([PDG](https://pdg.lbl.gov/2020/AtomicNuclearProperties/index.html)) format. A

compilation of tables generated with PUMAS is available from the

[pumas-materials](https://github.com/niess/pumas-materials) repository.

## Installation

Building the library requires only the files [pumas.h](include/pumas.h) and

[pumas.c](src/pumas.c). On UNIX you might directly use the provided

[Makefile](Makefile). Alternatively, or on other platforms, CMake can be used

with the provided [CMakeLists.txt](CMakeLists.txt). More detailed instructions

are provided in the

[documentation](https://pumas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation).

## Documentation

The documentation is available online from [Read the

Docs](https://pumas.readthedocs.io/en/latest). It contains a description of the

library [API](https://pumas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api) as well as

[tutorials](https://pumas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials). You might also

directly browse the [examples](examples) provided with the source.

## License

The PUMAS library is  under the **GNU LGPLv3** license. See the provided

[LICENSE](LICENSE) and [COPYING.LESSER](COPYING.LESSER) files. The

[examples](examples) however have a separate public domain license allowing them

to be copied without any restriction.
