This is a source distribution of MCPL - Monte Carlo Particle Lists.

Included are the core utilities for reading and writing .mcpl files: A binary
format with lists of particle state information, for interchanging and
reshooting events between various Monte Carlo simulation applications.

MCPL I/O hooks for Geant4 (geant4.cern.ch) and MCNP (SSW files) are included in
this distribution as well. Hooks for McStas (mcstas.org) and McXtrace
(mcxtrace.org) are already included directly upstream in those applications. A
few examples of how to use the Geant4 hooks, or how to interact with MCPL files
from standalone C code, are also provided. Refer to the FILES file for more
information about included files, and refer to the INSTALL file for build
instructions.

MCPL and most code distributed here was written 2015-2017 by Thomas Kittelmann
(thomas.kittelmann@esss.se). The MCNP-SSW converters were written in close
collaboration with Esben Klinkby (esbe@dtu.dk), and the McStas and McXtrace
converters were written by Erik B. Knudsen (erkn@fysik.dtu.dk) and Peter
Willendrup (pkwi@fysik.dtu.dk).
