Welcome to the Home Page of Cosmos

Contents
Cosmos is not the cosmos. It is a versatile
Monte Carlo simulaiton code for propagatio of
cosmic rays in the atmosphere and near earth environment.
It can treate
low energy phenomena such as atmospheric
neutrino problems with muon polarization, or
very high energy air showers in the GZK cutoff region
with magnetic bremsstrahlung and pair creation effects
and/or the LPM effect.
PS or pdf manuals are available. (The pdf version is
rather dirty). Important points (especially for those who know Cosmos
already) are printed in red letters.
From uv 6.30, Geomview
is fully suported and the manual for it
is also ready.
- man.ps.gz(1.6MB)The users manual.(Feb.28, 2002)
- man.pdf(0.6MB)The users manual(Feb.28, 2002)
- Additional stuff (Mar.09, 2003)
man6.35.ps.gz Some new features
from v6.35.(March.09, 2003). The same in pdf
- geomview.ps.gz(0.9MB)Geomview Interface(Feb.28, 2002)
- geomview.pdf(0.2MB)Geomview Interface(Feb.28, 2002)
- how to incoporate your own atmosphere(Atmos.ps.gz, 59024B Jul 15. 1999)
- You will also need an appendix (for flux calculations. flux.ps.gz, 805302B, May 27, 1999)
The following platforms have been verified to work:
- HP9000 series workstations with HP OS and HP Fortran.
- SUN workstations with SUN OS4.1.3/4 and SUN Fortran.
- Soralis with SUN fortran.
- DEC alpha workstations with DIGITAL Unix and DEC Fortran.
(use site.configDECALPHA2)
- IBM AIX workstation with pk Fortran preprocessor.
(SucInt=0 has to be used)
- PC Linux with Absoft Pro Fortran.
- PC Linux with Intel Fortran Compiler
- PC Free BSD with Absoft Pro Fortran.
- Mac OS X with Absoft Pro Fortran.
- Alpha Linux with either Compaq Fortran and Digital True64 Fortran
- DOS/V pc's and NeXTStations with NEXTSTEP and Absoft Fortran.
(with some limitation in the nuclear interaction model selection)
- SGI waw once listed in "cannot list", but now Cosmos can
run successfully.
Platforms where you cannot play Cosmos
- Convex. Its Fortran cannot processes some sturucture construct.
It's a free software. If you have any question, please send an e-mail
