How do I know if attpc_engine can be used with my dataset

In general attpc_engine is flexible, and can generate data for many different types of AT-TPC experiments. However, the detector system side of attpc_engine is rather fixed at the moment. Serious modifications to the AT-TPC geometry and behavior may make certain datasets incompatible, as well as attpc_engine is not designed to simulate the behavior of additional detector components. But the kinematics sampler should be valid for most types of reactions with AT-TPC.

How can I look at the kinematics data without detector effects applied

How do I update my version of attpc_engine

With your virtual environment active you can use any of

pip install attpc_engine --upgrade
pip install attpc_engine -U

or to install a specific version use

pip install attpc_engine==x.x.x

and replace x.x.x with the specific version number to install.
