particletools 1.1.7

Description:

particletools 1.1.7

particletools
This single Python module around an XML data file provides some convenient functions for people
working with properties of physical particles (protons, pions, D-mesons, etc.)
Status
This version is stable.
Documentation
The latest version of the documentation can be found here.
Requirements
The package is universal and should work with all Python versions above 2.7.
Installation
pip install particletools

Quickstart
The purpose of this tools is to provide library-like features to convert
particle names into PDG IDs, the particle codes of some common event generators, or to obtain their masses and decay channels. The below example demonstrates
how to look up the branching ratios of some particle.
from particletools.tables import print_decay_channels
print_decay_channels(221)

eta decays into:
39.3824%, gamma, gamma
32.512%, pi0, pi0, pi0
22.7%, pi+, pi-, pi0
4.69%, pi+, pi-, gamma
0.6%, gamma, e-, e+
0.044%, pi0, gamma, gamma
0.04%, pi+, pi-, e-, e+
0.031%, gamma, mu-, mu+
0.0006%, mu-, mu+
