Referencing & Citation

Important

Citation information can be obtained on GitHub by pointing your browser to github.com/g4edge/pyg4ometry and selecting “Cite this repository” in the sidebar on the right. pyg4ometry uses a CITATION.cff file.

Citations allow the authors to demonstrably show the code usage and therefore to continue to support the development and maintenance of pyg4ometry.

Any publications including simulations made using pyg4ometry must cite:

S.D. Walker, A. Abramov, L.J. Nevay, W. Shields, S.T. Boogert, “pyg4ometry: A Python library for the creation of Monte Carlo radiation transport physical geometries”, Computer Physics Communications 272 108228 (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.cpc.2021.108228

Additionally, we automatically generate a DOI for each pyg4ometry code release through Zenodo at this page, if you wish to cite a specific pyg4ometry version.
