The Mantid framework is a software solution developed for the analysis and visualization of neutron scattering and muon spin measurements. The framework is jointly developed by software engineers and scientists at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Facility and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The objectives, functionality and novel design aspects of Mantid are described.

The overall design of the Integrated Spectral Analysis Workbench (ISAW), being developed at Argonne, provides for an extensible, highly interactive, collaborating set of viewers for neutron scattering data. Large arbitrary collections of spectra from multiple detectors can be viewed as an image, a scrolled list of individual graphs, or using a 3D representation of the instrument showing the detector positions. Data from an area detector can be displayed using a contour or intensity map as well as an interactive table. Selected spectra can be displayed in tables or on a conventional graph. A unique characteristic of these viewers is their interactivity and coordination. The position pointed at by the user in one viewer is sent to other viewers of the same DataSet so they can track the position and display relevant information. Specialized viewers for single crystal neutron diffractometers are being developed. A proof-of-concept viewer that directly displays the 3D reciprocal lattice from a complete series of runs on a single crystal diffractometer has been implemented.
China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is the first high-performance pulsed neutron source in China, which will meet the increasing fundamental research and technique applications demands domestically and overseas. A new distributed data processing and analysis environment has been developed, which has generic functionalities for neutron scattering experiments. The environment consists of three parts, an object-oriented data processing framework adopting a data centered architecture, a communication and data caching system based on the C/S paradigm, and data analysis and visualization software providing the 2D/3D experimental data display. This environment will be widely applied in CSNS for live data processing.
ROOT is an object-oriented C++ framework conceived in the high-energy physics (HEP) community, designed for storing and analyzing petabytes of data in an efficient way. Any instance of a C++ class can be stored into a ROOT file in a machine-independent compressed binary format. In ROOT the TTree object container is optimized for statistical data analysis over very large data sets by using vertical data storage techniques. These containers can span a large number of files on local disks, the web, or a number of different shared file systems. In order to analyze this data, the user can chose out of a wide set of mathematical and statistical functions, including linear algebra classes, numerical algorithms such as integration and minimization, and various methods for performing regression analysis (fitting). In particular, ROOT offers packages for complex data modeling and fitting, as well as multivariate classification based on machine learning techniques. A central piece in these analysis tools are the histogram classes which provide binning of one- and multi-dimensional data. Results can be saved in high-quality graphical formats like Postscript and PDF or in bitmap formats like JPG or GIF. The result can also be stored into ROOT macros that allow a full recreation and rework of the graphics. Users typically create their analysis macros step by step, making use of the interactive C++ interpreter CINT, while running over small data samples. Once the development is finished, they can run these macros at full compiled speed over large data sets, using on-the-fly compilation, or by creating a stand-alone batch program. Finally, if processing farms are available, the user can reduce the execution time of intrinsically parallel tasks - e.g. data mining in HEP - by using PROOF, which will take care of optimally distributing the work over the available resources in a transparent way.
Since Bandt and Pompes seminal work, permutation entropy has been used in several applications and is now an essential tool for time series analysis. Beyond becoming a popular and successful technique, permutation entropy inspired a framework for mapping time series into symbolic sequences that triggered the development of many other tools, including an approach for creating networks from time series known as ordinal networks. Despite the increasing popularity, the computational development of these methods is fragmented, and there were still no efforts focusing on creating a unified software package. Here we present ordpy, a simple and open-source Python module that implements permutation entropy and several of the principal methods related to Bandt and Pompes framework to analyze time series and two-dimensional data. In particular, ordpy implements permutation entropy, Tsallis and Renyi permutation entropies, complexity-entropy plane, complexity-entropy curves, missing ordinal patterns, ordinal networks, and missing ordinal transitions for one-dimensional (time series) and two-dimensional (images) data as well as their multiscale generalizations. We review some theoretical aspects of these tools and illustrate the use of ordpy by replicating several literature results.
Novel multiplexing triple-axis neutron scattering spectrometers yield significant improvements of the common triple-axis instruments. While the planar scattering geometry keeps ensuring compatibility with complex sample environments, a simultaneous detection of scattered neutrons at various angles and energies leads to tremendous improvements in the data acquisition rate. Here we report on the software package MJOLNIR that we have developed to handle the resulting enhancement in data complexity. Using data from the new CAMEA spectrometer of the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source at the Paul Scherrer Institut, we show how the software reduces, visualises and treats observables measured on multiplexing spectrometers. The software package has been generalised to a uniformed framework, allowing for collaborations across multiplexing instruments at different facilities, further facilitating new developments in data treatment, such as fitting routines and modelling of multi-dimensional data.
