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.

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.
