Linac Coherent Light Source data analysis using psana
Psana (Photon Science Analysis) is a software package that is used to analyze data produced by the Linac Coherent Light Source X ray free electron laser at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The project began in 2011, is written primarily in C+ with some Python, and provides user interfaces in both C+ and Python. Most users use the Python interface. The same code can be run in real time while data are being taken as well as offline, executing on many nodes/cores using MPI for parallelization. It is publicly available and installable on the RHEL5/6/7 operating systems.
