There is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for Gosia version 20081208.10, which is currently undergoing beta-testing. The latest beta-test version can be [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/rachel.1.3.0.beta.tar downloaded here]. Rachel is written in Python 2.6 and is expected to be Python 2.7 compliant. It will run on Linux or Unix (OS X) machines. A 64-bit processor is desirable, because Gosia runs fastest and most accurately on a 64-bit machine. This original version of the GUI was written as a time-saving tool for analysis of a one particular data set, so the final release version, expected in 2011 will have many structural changes in the code, allowing more automation, more general particle detector options and fewer user prompts. | There is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for Gosia version 20081208.10, which is currently undergoing beta-testing.

# [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/experiment_planning.html Generating simulated data]. The errors in the simulated data are based on Poisson statistics and the expected number of days, beam current, etc. to estimate your ability to observe desired gamma-ray yields and to fit matrix elements to the observed yields. The present beta version applies ''optionally'' a quasi-gaussian random scatter of the predicted yield data [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/experiment_planning_2.html as demonstrated in this video] to better aid in predicting expected precision of fitted matrix elements. Watch this supplemental video to see how this works. You should also watch the [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/accuracy_testing.html accuracy testing video] to see if Gosia would be an appropriate analysis tool for your planned experiment. | # [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/experiment_planning.html Generating simulated data].
