CONFLUX Software Package

CONFLUX, Calculation Of Neutrino FLUX, is a framework that allows users to calculate reactor neutrino flux and uncertainties with flexible and time dependent inputs of reactor models. It uses the most up-to-date Nuclear libraries, as well as a robust Beta spectrum shape generator to create a neutrino spectrum.

The formalism is described in this publication, while the code is published here. Finally, this manual should be used as a general reference for how to use the framework.
