Abstract
The nuclear charge radius is one of the most fundamental quantities of the atomic nucleus. It can be deduced from a combination of experimental measurements of muonicX-raytransitionenergieswithmodellingofthoseX-raytransitionenergies. In thisworkwepresentMuDirac (1.3.0), whichisanopen, publiclyavailable, sustainable and computationally efficient software tool that will be at put the disposal of the negative muon community. With MuDirac (1.3.0), the community will be able to accurately and efficiently estimate nuclear properties, such as the nuclear charge radius, by assuming a 2-parameter Fermi distribution of the nuclear charge.
