ALPinist

Plugin for the CRPropa code to treat the mixing of photons and axion-like particles.

For now it works only for 1D propagation (with 3D magnetic fields). The emitted particle must, necessarily, be along direction Vector3d(-1, 0, 0). New 3D version will be released soon.

Installation procedure

To install ALPinist, you will need to have CRPropa 3 installed. Go to https://github.com/CRPropa/CRPropa3/ and follow the instructions.

Now proceed with the installation of this module.

  1. Download the latest version of the code.
git clone https://github.com/rafaelab/alpinist.git

  1. Navigate into the downloaded folder and create a folder called "build/".

  2. Install the code with CMake and then make:

cmake ..
make
  1. If the code was properly compiled, you are ready to go! Make sure to add the path where alpinist.py is created to your PYTHONPATH. Alternatively, this can be hard-coded in your python script.

For consistency with CRPropa, the flag -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-std=c++11" may be required to force compilers to adopt C++11.
