npac_detector.detector.to_json(detector: Detector) → str

Converts a detector in json.

Parameters:

detector (Detector) – The detector you want to convert in json

Returns:

json string of the detector

npac_detector.detector.from_json(json_thing: str) → Detector

Converts a detector’s json in the detector.

Parameters:

json_thing (str) – detector’s json

Returns:

The detector

npac_detector.detector.uncertainty_hits(surface_a: Surface, surface_b: Surface, theta: float) → float

Computes the uncertainty induced by the scattering angle symmetry between two surfaces

Parameters:

• surface_a – Surface from which the particle is coming

• surface_b – Surface to which the particle is going

• angle – Incoming angle in rad

Returns:

Uncertainty on x and y in mm
