Description
CRPropa is a modular open source cosmic-ray propagation framework. Particle transport can be treated in the single particle picture by solving the equation of motion or in an ensemble averaged approach, solving stochastic differential equations. Together with the implementation of all relevant loss processes and secondary production channels it forms a powerful tool to model cosmic rays and other messengers from GeV up to ZeV energies.
In this lecture we will present the underlying concept of the Monte Carlo code and discuss some recent applications of the code to diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) and how it helped to distinguish the transport mode in the face-on galaxy M51. During the exercise you will learn how to set up and run different simulation from cosmogenic neutrino production to particle acceleration.
