SYRIPY (Synchrotron radiation in Python)

SYRIPY is a differentiable and GPU accelerated python package for performing statistical inference on synchrotron radiation based diagnostics. SYRIPY includes three modules:

• Particle tracking
• Liénard–Wiechert solver
• Fourier optics propagation

allowing you to fully simulate the generation and detection of synchrotron radiation (from the initial beam parameters to the expected intensity profile on a detector). SYRIPY is based on the PyTorch library. This allows the automatic calculation of gradients with respect to input beam parameters, which is useful for many statistical inference methods. An overview of the package and benchmarks can be found in the following https://journals.iucr.org/s/issues/2024/02/00/tv5053/index.html.

Installing SYRIPY

SYRIPY can be installed using pip

git clone https://github.com/robbiewatt1/SYRIPY
pip install ./SYRIPY
