Gosia

From GOSIA

<math>\frac{dy}{dx}\,\!</math> ==The Gosia Forum== The new gosia forum can be found [http://www-user.pas.rochester.edu/~gosia/phpBB3/index.php here.] As described on the [[Gosia_users'_forum]] page, the Forum is the appropriate place to post requests for help with specific Gosia calculations and for experienced users to give answers and advice. ==What is Gosia?== Gosia is the primary analysis code for planning experiments and analyzing data for [[low-energy Coulomb excitation]] experiments. The original version was written at the University of Rochester in 1979--1980 by [[Tomasz Czosnyka]], who maintained the code until his untimely death in 2006. [[What_is_Gosia | Learn more...]]. ==Installing Gosia== Installation of Gosia requires only the following steps # Compiling gosia with a Fortran compiler # Setting the default path or alias to find Gosia, if desired. (See also the path requirements for [[Gui|Rachel]] and the [[rachel setup file]].) Most standard Fortran 77 compilers will produce a working Gosia executable. GNU <tt>g77</tt> is recommended, but is becoming deprecated on newer machines. The newer, more commonly used <tt>gfortran</tt> will also work. Intel Fortran should work, but is not recommended, because future error trapping patches may not work well with the Intel compiler. For more information about compiling and standard builds, refer to [[compiling gosia]]. == Learning to use Gosia == A [[Gui]] called Rachel has been developed and is currently undergoing beta-testing. Novice Gosia users can use this interface to develop properly formatted template Gosia input files. These can be modified by comparing the input lines to the Gosia manual instructions, or Gosia can be run entirely from within the GUI for many typical [[simulation (experiment planning)]] and analysis problems. Chapter 14 of the current [[Gosia Manual]] contains an annotated example input, a flowchart of the procedures that must be run during analysis of data and a tutorial based on a set of files, which can be obtained on the [[Gosia_tutorials]] page. == Using Gosia in experiment simulation and planning == ... == Using Gosia for data analysis == ... == How do I get Gosia? == * [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/%7Ecline/Research/GOSIAcodes/gosia_20081208.10.f Download the latest release of Gosia here].
