Open Source Java Physics Software

Radiation detection and measurement education is necessary for a wide variety of people working with radiation. The equipment and laboratory setup needed for delivering this education are expensive and difficult to assemble due to the large variety of the type of experiments that are desirable to cover. For a basic education one needs to have gamma, beta, alpha and neutron sources, at least one detector to detect each type of radiation and other supplemental instrumentation to perform experiments. Although the radiation exposure due to these radioactive sources in an education laboratory is low, shielding and a private secured place is needed. Nearly two hundred thousand dollars is needed to construct such a basic laboratory described as above. In order to overcome these difficulties, a model of a basic Radiation Detection Laboratory has been created to provide a virtual environment for designing and simulating such experiments.

It provides all common analysis methods like D4Sigma, knife-edge, as well as fitting of Hermite-Gauss, Laguerre-Gauss and super-Gauss functions.

GridLAB-D is a new power system simulation tool that provides valuable information to users who design and operate electric power transmission and distribution systems, and to utilities that wish to take advantage of the latest smart grid technology. It incorporates advanced modeling techniques with high-performance algorithms to deliver the latest in end-use load modeling technology integrated with three-phase unbalanced power flow, and retail market systems. Historically, the inability to effectively model and evaluate smart grid technologies has been a barrier to adoption; GridLAB-D is designed to address this problem. User documentation can be found at: http://gridlab-d.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Quick_links The source code is available from GitHub. See https://github.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d. Issue tracking is handled by GitHub. See https://github.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d/issues.

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 Python, R, Ruby, Tcl, C#, Java, and GNU Octave.

CompPad is a LibreOffice extension that provides live mathematical and engineering calculations within a Writer document. It is intended to provide a free / open-source alternative to Mathcad .

The DigitalSimulator is your Virtual Electronics Lab, allowing you to design, simulate and output your digital circuit board designs.

FreeLIMS is a Laboratory Information Management System ( LIMS ). Manage samples; create sample types from methods & parameters; easily generate reports & certificates; fine tune user rights. FreeLIMS is Open Source and Free.

JGP is a GUI for gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info/). It is made for all those who just love gnuplot but who found that organizing a large number of datasets and plots from the command line is inconvenient. JGP uses gnuplot as plotting engine.

The Optics Project on the Web (WebTOP) is a 3D, interactive computer graphics system that visualizes optical phenomena. Its purpose is to help instructors teach and students learn about optics. It is a platform independent Java application that uses X3D.

DataMelt (or "DMelt") is an environment for numeric computation, data analysis, computational statistics, and data visualization. This Java multiplatform program is integrated with several scripting languages such as Jython (Python), Groovy, JRuby, BeanShell. DMelt can be used to plot functions and data in 2D and 3D, perform statistical tests, data mining, numeric computations, function minimization, linear algebra, solving systems of linear and differential equations. Linear, non-linear and symbolic regression are also available. Neural networks and various data-manipulation methods are integrated using powerful Java API. Elements of symbolic computations using Octave/Matlab scripting are supported.

This program allows you to create a transmission hologram using just a computer, a laser-printer, and an overhead transparency. This hologram will behave like one created using a laser and can be projected or viewed with a point source.

NoteLab is an advanced "digital notebook" specifically designed for tablet computers. With its stroke smoothing, antialiasing, and "smart rendering," NoteLab provides a beautiful and powerful note taking environment on any operating system.

Java Data Processing Project aims to manipulate text file containing scientific data such as time/intensity scan or spectrum. Jdpp provide large flexibility to read all possible time duration and date format. It is originally design to treat MS data.

This software allows you perform six degree of freedom simulations of High Power Rocket (HPR) and model rocket flights. Parachute descent is also simulated. 3D flight trajectories are produced as well as detailed tabular flight data. Running in Monte Carlo mode allows generates multiple possible flight paths and splash down plots, indicating the probability of landing in an area.

Multibody dynamics simulation package with frictional contact and collision detection

This is a simulation package developed for numerical simulation of ultrashort pulse propagation in optical media and pulse generation from mode-locked lasers. Although the code is primarily intended for investigations of fiber links, fiber amplifiers and fiber lasers, it can be applied to any other setting for which the governing equiations are valid. The physics included in the code is based on a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, including higher order dispersion, stimulated Raman effect, gain with bandwidth limitation and saturation, loss, and saturable absorption. Disclaimer: The simulation code is provided free of charge for the use of the academic community only. We kindly ask the users to acknowledge use of the code in academic settings. We do not accept responsibility for any errors or omissions that may be present. Çağrı Şenel, Punya Prasanna Paltani, Fatih Ömer Ilday
