MuDirac is a simulation software that integrates the Dirac equation for muonic atoms to compute their X-Ray transition energies; it is written in C++ and can be found on GitHub. The use and functioning of MuDirac 1.0 is extensively documented in the paper S. Sturniolo, A. Hillier, “Mudirac: A Dirac equation solver for elemental analysis with muonic X-rays”, X-Ray Spectrom. 2020;1–17, which should be cited by any work using it. Here we will give a quick tutorial on how to start using it for simple cases.

Mudirac on Galaxy

Mudirac can be run without any installaiton in Galaxy. Mudirac is available as a Galaxy tool on MaterialsGalaxy in the Other Muon Tools section of the tool panel.

Citing MuDirac

For the theoretical background on the software and examples of its applications, see the published paper:

Sturniolo, S, Hillier, A. Mudirac: A Dirac equation solver for elemental analysis with muonic X‐rays. X‐Ray Spectrom. 2020; 1– 17. https://doi.org/10.1002/xrs.3212

Cite the above paper if you make use of the software in your work too.
