#### CRY Framework Parameters

* `latitude`: Latitude for which the incident particles from cosmic ray showers should be simulated. Should be between `90` (north pole) and `-90` (south pole). Defaults to `53` (DESY).

* `latitude`: Latitude for which the incident particles from cosmic ray showers should be simulated. Should be between `90.0` (north pole) and `-90.0` (south pole). Defaults to `53.0` (DESY).

* `date`: Date for the simulation to account for the 11-year cycle of solar activity and related change in cosmic ray flux. Should be given as string in the form `month-day-year` and defaults to the last day of 2020, i.e. `12-31-2020`.

* `return_neutrons`: Boolean to select whether neutrons should be returned to Geant4. Defaults to `true`.

* `return_protons`: Boolean to select whether protons should be returned to Geant4. Defaults to `true`.
