Findings
Facilitates easy installation on various systems
Provides clear procedures for defining signals
Includes utility functions for data analysis
Abstract
This is a lightweight manual for PTArcade, a wrapper of ENTERPRISE and ceffyl that allows for easy implementation of new-physics searches in PTA data. In this manual, we describe how to get PTArcade installed (either on your local machine or an HPC cluster). We discuss how to define a stochastic or deterministic signal and how PTArcade implements these signals in PTA-analysis pipelines. Finally, we show how to handle and analyze the PTArcade output using a series of utility functions that come together with PTArcade.
