Serpent Users Group Meeting serpentTools workshop

It is our goal to provide you with both an introductory understanding of the python package, as well as some practical demonstrations and examples you can take with you. The workshop will be geared both for beginners and existing users and developers. While every effort has been made to make the package, some basic python knowledge will make the workshop much easier.

The following are helpful links to source code and documentation:

Installation

If you wish to use the stable release branch, you can download using the python installer pip. From the command line, run

$ pip install serpentTools

In some instances, the --user flag may have to be added for users without admin privileges. If you wish to use the development version, you can obtain the source code using git and install from there

$ git clone https://www.github.com/CORE-GATECH-GROUP/serpent-tools.git
$ cd serpent-tools
$ python setup.py install

Workshop Overview

The workshop will walk through three Serpent output files and provides examples of data processing using serpentTools and will cover:

  • Main results file
  • Detector files
  • Depletion files

The workshop will span three hours including breaks, and will end with a brief discussion on the future of the project. This section will also be a time for users to provide direct feedback to core developers including feature requests and minor nuances.
