What is Cosmos ?

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.


Platforms where you can play Cosmos

The following platforms have been verified to work:
  1. HP9000 series workstations with HP OS and HP Fortran.
  2. SUN workstations with SUN OS4.1.3/4 and SUN Fortran.
  3. Soralis with SUN fortran.
  4. DEC alpha workstations with DIGITAL Unix and DEC Fortran. (use site.configDECALPHA2)
  5. IBM AIX workstation with pk Fortran preprocessor. (SucInt=0 has to be used)
  6. PC Linux with Absoft Pro Fortran.
  7. PC Linux with Intel Fortran Compiler
  8. PC Free BSD with Absoft Pro Fortran.
  9. Mac OS X with Absoft Pro Fortran.
  10. Alpha Linux with either Compaq Fortran and Digital True64 Fortran
  11. DOS/V pc's and NeXTStations with NEXTSTEP and Absoft Fortran. (with some limitation in the nuclear interaction model selection)
  12. SGI waw once listed in "cannot list", but now Cosmos can run successfully.

Platforms where you cannot play Cosmos

  1. Convex. Its Fortran cannot processes some sturucture construct.
