Software platform for Simulation of advanced photon Experiments.
SimEx is a python library to facilitate setup, execution, and analysis of simulations of experiments at advanced laser light sources. As an example, consider a molecule radiated by highly brilliant, ultrashort x-ray pulses such as delivered by an X-Ray Free Electron Laser (X-FEL). The simulation platform allows to combine tools and codes for the simulation of each step of the experiment: Generation of radiation in the photon source, propagation through optics and waveguides to the interaction point, photon-matter interaction, scattering of the radiation into the far field and detection of the latter. The platform provides slots and interfaces for the various simulation steps.

The size of this Github repository of SimEx is huge due to the historical TestFiles.
This command can clone only the newest develop branch to reduce the dowloading size:
git clone --depth 1 -b develop https://github.com/PaNOSC-ViNYL/SimEx.git
Now the TestFiles are hosted at Zenodo. The files can be downloaded with this script.
