Features and Changelog

On this page we assemble the features of current Cait realeases and changes from the past versions.

v1.0.0

This is the first stable, full release of Cait. In this original version, the following features are included:

• Data access:

  • Conversion of raw data file formats to structured HDF5 files.

  • Conversion of Root files to HDF5 files.

  • Im- and Export of arbitrary feature values, standard events, filters, noise power spectra to and from *.xy files

  • Import of trigger time stamps from *.trip files

• Calculation of features:

  • Main parameters

  • Standard events

  • Noise power spectra

  • Optimum filter

  • Standard event and parametric fits

  • Principal components

  • Baseline fits

• Processing of continuously recorded raw data:

  • Stream (*.csmpl) triggering with or without optimum filtering.

  • Synchronisation with hardware triggered data.

  • Simulation of random triggers on the continuous data stream.

• Raw data analysis tools:

  • Logical cuts

  • Estimation of trigger thresholds

  • Rate and stability cuts

  • Energy calibration

  • Calculation of baseline resolution

  • Calculation of total exposure

• Simulation tools:

  • Simulation of raw data with particle pulse, test pulses or exceptional standard event templates (e.g. carrier events) in the linear and saturated regime.

  • Simulation of realistic noise baselines.

  • Simulation of test data in various raw data formats.

• Machine learning:

  • Data module compatible with Pytorch Lightning.

  • Evaluation environment compatible with Scikit-Learn.
