The interface between FastJet and NumPy

Project description

pyjet allows you to perform jet clustering with FastJet on NumPy arrays. By default pyjet only depends on NumPy and internally uses FastJet’s standalone fjcore release. The interface code is written in Cython that then becomes compiled C++, so it’s fast.

pyjet provides the cluster() function that takes a NumPy array as input and returns a ClusterSequence from which you can access the jets:

from pyjet import cluster
from pyjet.testdata import get_event

vectors = get_event()
sequence = cluster(vectors, R=1.0, p=-1)
jets = sequence.inclusive_jets()  # list of PseudoJets

The first four fields of the input array vectors must be either:

np.dtype([('pT', 'f8'), ('eta', 'f8'), ('phi', 'f8'), ('mass', 'f8')])

or if cluster(..., ep=True):

np.dtype([('E', 'f8'), ('px', 'f8'), ('py', 'f8'), ('pz', 'f8')])

This array may have additional fields of any type. Additional fields will then become attributes of the PseudoJet objects.

Standalone Installation

To simply use the built-in FastJet source:

pip install --user pyjet

And you’re good to go!

Get example.py and run it:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ndawe/pyjet/master/examples/example.py
python example.py

The 6th jet has the following constituents:
PseudoJet(pt=0.096, eta=-2.166, phi=-2.271, mass=0.000)
PseudoJet(pt=2.200, eta=-1.747, phi=-1.972, mass=0.140)
PseudoJet(pt=1.713, eta=-2.037, phi=-2.469, mass=0.940)
PseudoJet(pt=0.263, eta=-1.682, phi=-2.564, mass=0.140)
PseudoJet(pt=1.478, eta=-1.738, phi=-2.343, mass=0.940)
PseudoJet(pt=0.894, eta=-1.527, phi=-2.250, mass=0.140)

Get the constituents as an array (pT, eta, phi, mass):

Using an External FastJet Installation

To take advantage of the full FastJet library and optimized O(NlnN) kt and anti-kt algorithms you can first build and install FastJet and then install pyjet with the --external-fastjet flag. Before building FastJet you will need to install CGAL and GMP.

On a Debian-based system (Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev libcgal11v5 libgmp-dev libgmp10

On an RPM-based system (Fedora):

sudo dnf install gmp.x86_64 gmp-devel.x86_64 CGAL.x86_64 CGAL-devel.x86_64

On Mac OS:

brew install cgal gmp wget

Then run pyjet’s install-fastjet.sh script:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ndawe/pyjet/master/install-fastjet.sh
chmod +x install-fastjet.sh
sudo ./install-fastjet.sh

Now install pyjet like:

pip install --user pyjet --install-option="--external-fastjet"

pyjet will now use the external FastJet installation on your system.
