New features:

  • Possibility of specifying photoelectron distribution vs segment on a polygonal chamber.
  • Removed default value for photoelectron_angle_distribution and secondary_angle_distribution (see below).

Thanks Philipp!

Important: From this version the emission angle distribution must be specified, otherwise the simulation crashes!

To use the cosine_3D distribution (most appropriate) set in the machine parameter input file:
photoelectron_angle_distribution = 'cosine_3D'
and in the secondary emission input file:
secondary_angle_distribution = 'cosine_3D'

In case you want to use the cosine_2D distribution, to have the same behavior as in PyECLOUD 6.6.0 or earlier replace 'cosine_3D' with 'cosine_2D'. For more info, see presentation by P. Dijkstal on the angle of emission of generated electrons (https://indico.cern.ch/event/673160/).
