CView - CORSIKA Extensive Air Shower Simulation Viewer in JAVA
CORSIKA HOME | INSTALLATION
| USING CORSIKA | CVIEW
CORSIKA is a simulation software to simulate air showers induced by primary cosmic rays.
Cview will be a simple visualization software in JAVA to view the showers produced with CORSIKA with the PLOTSH
function (*.track_em, *.track_hd, *.track_mu or *.track_all data files).
I've already got some code, which allows to pan around and zoom in into the shower.
Here is a screenshot of the development version of the JAVA application:
I'll work on this as time permits.
Planned features:
- Animation - play the shower in slow motion
- 3D features
Some performance values (the screenshot above is a different shower):
Plotting 3537444 EM particles
Plotting 5633 HD particles
Plotting 54003 MU particles
Time to calculate: 3270 ms
The track_em file has about 170MB (iron shower @ 10TeV). So it takes about 3 seconds to redraw the
shower when panning or zooming on an AMD64 2.4GHz running 32bit Linux.
That iron shower @ 10TeV is already really complex, so viewing even more complex showers with
a visualization tool on a regular computer monitor is not convenient.
Another shower (iron @ 1TeV) produces a track_em file of 13MB with roughly 270000 particles
and is redrawn in a few 100 milliseconds.

Be very careful when handling high voltages!
