Credits¶
icet has been developed at the Department of Physics at Chalmers University of Technology (Gothenburg, Sweden), in collaboration with the Data Analysis group at the Data Management and Software Center of the European Spallation Source (Copenhagen, Denmark). The conda-forge recipes have been generously set up by Jan Janssen.
When using icet in your research please cite the following paper:
