Welcome to Kassiopeia’s documentation!#

Documentation Contents

This simulation package by the KATRIN collaboration allows to run highly customizable particle tracking simulations along with calculations of electric and magnetic fields.

Source Code: https://github.com/KATRIN-Experiment/Kassiopeia

Quick start: Try it out online in an interactive Binder session. Open a “VNC (Desktop)” tab and a terminal tab and run

Kassiopeia $KASPERSYS/config/Kassiopeia/Examples/DipoleTrapSimulation.xml

to run your first simulation! Note: A VTK error indicates that the “VNC (Desktop)” tab is not open yet.
