LeakageLib documentation

LeakageLib provides tools for polarimetric analysis with IXPE data. The three primary tools are

1. A fitting library which uses advanced weights to deliver precise polarization estimates

2. A neural net which assigns each event a likelihood of representing a particle.

3. Software to predict polarization leakage patters

For details and examples, please see the “Polarization fitting” and “Leakage Prediction” pages. This site also provides full API documentation of LeakageLib
