+Chroma: Ultra-fast Photon Monte Carlo
+=====================================
 
 Chroma is a high performance optical photon simulation for particle physics detectors.  It tracks individual photons passing through a triangle-mesh detector geometry, simulating standard physics processes like diffuse and specular reflections, refraction, Rayleigh scattering and absorption.  
 
 With the assistance of a CUDA-enabled GPU, Chroma can propagate 2.5 million photons per second in a detector with 29,000 photomultiplier tubes.  This is 200x faster than the same simulation with GEANT4.

+Development
+-----------
+
+Chroma is under heavy development.  Tagged releases will happen soon,
+but in the meantime we encourage people to obtain the code directly
+from the Mercurial repository hosted at Bitbucket:
+
+  http://bitbucket.org/chroma/chroma
+
+For questions, ideas, and discussion, join the Chroma development mailing list:
+
+  http://groups.google.com/group/chroma-sim
+
+For bug reports, please create a Bitbucket account and use the Bitbucket issue tracker:
