Abstract

SPARKX is an open-source Python package developed to analyze simulation data from heavy-ion collision experiments. By offering a comprehensive suite of tools, SPARKX simplifies data analysis workflows, supports multiple formats such as OSCAR2013, and integrates seamlessly with SMASH and JETSCAPE/X-SCAPE. This paper describes SPARKX's architecture, features, and applications and demonstrates its effectiveness through detailed examples and performance benchmarks. SPARKX enhances productivity and precision in relativistic kinematics studies.
