# Welcome!

Primary Gamma RADiation Landscapes (PG-RAD) is a Python package for research in source localization. It can simulate mobile gamma spectrometry data acquired from vehicle-borne detectors along a predefined path (e.g. a road).

## About

This software has been developed as part of dissertation work for the degree of master of Computational Science and Physics at Lund University, Sweden. The work has been done at the department of Medical Radiation Physics (MSF), Faculty of Medicine. The radiological emergency preparedness research group of MSF is assigned by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) to aid in preparation for effective mitigation of radiological or nuclear disasters on Swedish soil.
