Does it handle different coordinate systems?

Absolutely. It supports standard naming conventions like pt/eta/phi/mass or px/py/pz/E and helps Claude infer the correct coordinate system automatically.

Why is behavior registration necessary?

Vector behaviors must be registered in Awkward Array to allow arrays to 'act' like vector objects, enabling methods like .pt or .deltaR() directly on the array.

Can this skill help with 4-vector boosts?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for boosting particles into the rest frame of a parent particle using Momentum4D records.

Which Python libraries does this skill support?

This skill is specifically designed for the 'vector' and 'awkward' libraries, which are core components of the Scikit-HEP ecosystem.

Data Science & ML

Simplifies High Energy Physics analysis by integrating Python vector libraries with Awkward Arrays for efficient kinematic calculations.

About

The Vector Awkward skill empowers Claude to work seamlessly with Scikit-HEP tools, specifically focusing on the integration between the 'vector' library and 'Awkward Array'. It provides specialized guidance for registering vector behaviors, building 3D and 4D momentum records, and performing complex High Energy Physics (HEP) operations such as deltaR calculations, invariant mass computations, and Lorentz boosts. This skill is indispensable for physicists and data scientists who need to perform high-performance kinematic math on non-rectilinear data structures without writing manual boilerplate code.
