REDUCE is an interactive system for general algebraic computations of interest to mathematicians, scientists and engineers. It can be used interactively for simple calculations but also provides a flexible and expressive user programming language. The development of the REDUCE computer algebra system was started in the 1960s by Anthony C. Hearn. Since then, many scientists from all over the world have contributed to its development. REDUCE has a long and distinguished place in the history of computer algebra systems. Other systems that address some of the same issues but sometimes with rather different emphasis are Axiom, Derive, Macsyma (Maxima), Maple, Mathematica and MuPAD. REDUCE primarily runs on either Portable Standard Lisp (PSL) or Codemist Standard Lisp (CSL), both of which are included in the SourceForge distribution. By modern standards, REDUCE is a surprisingly small and compact application, which runs well on all major operating systems.

gVirtualXRay is a C++ library to simulate X-ray imaging. It is based on the Beer-Lambert law to compute the absorption of light (i.e. photons) by 3D objects (here polygon meshes). It is implemented on the graphics processing unit (GPU) using the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL). SimpleGVXR is a smaller library build on the top of gVirtualXRay. It provides wrappers to Python2, Python3, R, Ruby, Tcl, C#, Java, and GNU Octave.

WavePacket is a program package for numerical simulation of quantum-mechanical wavepacket dynamics of distinguishable particles. It can be used to solve single or coupled time-independent or time-dependent (linear) Schrödinger and Liouville-von Neumann-equations. Optionally accounting for the interaction with external electric fields within the semiclassical dipole approximation, WavePacket can be used to simulate modern experiments involving ultrashort light pulses in photo-induced physics or chemistry. WavePacket is suitable for teaching quantum mechanics as well as for research projects in physics and chemistry. The present C++ version is an object-oriented rewrite of the existing Matlab version aiming to be more flexible. In particular, the goals are easy handling of open and closed systems and support for unusual setups.

Gwyscope is a low cost, open hardware, Digital Signal Processor (DSP) suitable for Scanning Probe Microscopy measurements, focusing on demonstrating the concept of adaptive scanning, general XYZ data acquisition and statistical data processing on the controller level. More details can be found in: M. Valtr et al., Scanning Probe Microscopy controller with advanced sampling support, HardwareX, Volume 15, e00451 https://www.hardware-x.com/article/S2468-0672(23)00058-5/fulltext It is based on a low cost FPGA board Red Pitaya and additional high bit depth AD and DA converters. When put together with the AFM scanning hardware (sensor, scanner and their amplifiers) and user interface software it can serve as a standalone SPM system. Otherwise, it can serve as a sub-module for a custom built SPM system, e.g. providing the feedback loop mechanism only. Finally, it can be used as a board for developing advanced sampling techniques, which was the primary goal.

KherveFitting is a fully Open Source XPS Fitting software that is simple , snappy, easy to use and available across all platforms (Windows, Mac OS, Linux). The software is written in Python using well known libraries: Numpy, lmfit, matplotlib, panda. KherveFitting can open Excel files (.xlsx) or import/convert VAMAS files (.vms) into Excel format. Four background types available: Linear, Shirley, Smart, Adaptive Smart. Drag the red lines on the plot to set the background range. Fit single peaks or doublets. Doublet splitting values are stored in 'DS.txt'. Intensity ratios for doublets: 0.5 for p-shell, 0.67 for d-shell, 0.75 for f-shell. Each peak uses two rows: values in the first row, constraints in the second. Check out the examples in the DATA folder Source files: https://github.com/gkerherve/KherveFitting

GenX is a scientific program to refine x-ray refelcetivity, neutron reflectivity and surface x-ray diffraction data using the differential evolution algorithm. GenX is very modular and highly extensible and can be used as a general fitting program.

RSM (Radiation Spectrum Method) is a 2D rigorous tool to solve the Maxwell equations for the propagation of light in integrated optics or photonics devices. It makes use of an eigenmode expansion method to solve the electromagnetic problem. This software running on Windows and MacOS comes with a GUI that permits to define with the aid of files or scripts the arbitrary and complex geometry of the waveguide. Of that way any waveguide geometry can be handled. Several plots are available : refractive index plot, field propagation plot and modes spectrum plot. This permits, with the interpretation of the guided and radiation modes spectrum, a physical understanding of the propagation mechanisms in the integrated optical device under evaluation. The complex geometry of the component is discretized in a stack of multilayer dielectric waveguides. See : https://ipp.icube.unistra.fr/index.php/Photonics_Modeling_and_Simulation:RSM

MCE is an crystallographic experimental program for 3D and 2D electron density map visualization.

Since 1972 it pushes charged particles around accelerators and along beam lines, by step-wise resolution of the Lorentz force equation - and their spins by resolution of Thomas-BMT differential equation. Zgoubi is used for charged particle and beam dynamics simulations, and for accelerator and beam line design. It can simulate hadron and lepton beam and polarization dynamics in a large variety of accelerators (storage ring, synchrotron, cyclotron, microtron, linear and scaling FFAG, multi-pass ERL, etc.) and optical systems (magnetic and electrostatic optical components and beam lines, time-of-flight and mass spectrometers, etc.). It includes built-in fitting procedures, with a wide variety of constraints. It includes synchrotron radiation Poynting vector tracking, synchrotron radiation energy loss, space charge modeling, several Monte Carlo procedures.

The library provides an implementation of dimensioned values for Ada. Unit checks are made at run-time, if not optimized out by the compiler. SI and irregular measurement units are supported. Shifted units like degrees Celsius are supported too. Conversions from and back to strings are provided for all various irregular units. An extensive set of GTK widgets for dealing with dimensioned values is included, though use of GTK is not mandatory for the rest of the library.
