tracketch

A Python toolkit for simulating track formation in CR-39 nuclear track detectors irradiation with ions.

The work is published in the article A unified model for etched-track formation in CR-39 detectors using amorphous track structure theory by Jeppe Brage Christensen.

Note

Due to its dependency on libamtrack, tracketch currently runs on Linux only. Most Windows installations support WSL installations.
