cosine has a long history of performing computer simulations to test future (optical) designs, even before they have been built.

Predictions for better performance

cosine develops simulation software that helps predict and understand the performance of X-ray and gamma-ray imaging systems before they are built. Using Monte Carlo techniques, our simulations model grazing-incidence scattering and system behaviour in detail, enabling designers to explore how surfaces, geometry, beams, and detectors interact in real-world conditions.

Built on the Geant4 framework, our software extends standard radiation interaction models with detailed descriptions of grazing-angle X-ray interactions. This allows realistic simulation of high-energy optical systems where accuracy and confidence are critical.

The software offers fine control over surface scattering, metrology models, and geometrical configurations. By simulating complete systems early in the design process, users can assess realistic performance, compare design options, and reduce development risk.

cosine’s simulation software can be delivered as a standalone tool running on your system, with configuration-based or graphical user control. We also provide documentation, installation support, training, and optional access to the source code, enabling users to adapt and extend the software to their specific needs.
