Welcome to PISA’s documentation!

PISA is a software written in Python designed to analyze the results (or expected results) of an experiment based on Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, PISA was written by and for the IceCube Collaboration for analyses employing the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, including the DeepCore and the Upgrade low-energy in-fill arrays. Any experiment can make use of PISA for analyzing expected and actual results though.
