The project involved statistical analysis of decay chains of superheavy nuclei. The code in this particular repository was used to generate simulated decay chains. It uses Monte Carlo (MC) methods in order to simulate lifetimes for an arbitrary amount of chains. Additionally, branching ratios for different decay paths are also MC-simulated.

The project involved statistical analysis of decay chains of superheavy nuclei. The code in this particular repository was used to generate simulated decay chains. It uses Monte Carlo (MC) methods in order to simulate lifetimes for an arbitrary amount of chains, starting from a pre-defined initial state (given *A* and *Z*). Additionally, branching ratios for different decay paths are also MC-simulated. A so-called Schmidt Test **[1,2]** is implemented to assess congruence of individual steps and entire decay chains. The project only focused on single decay congruence. The statistical analysis of decay chains is thus not entirely robust and should be taken with a grain of salt.
