Python 3 version of PyECLOUD v8.2.0
New features in v8.2.0:
- Cross-ionization: ionisation of residual gas by the existing ions and electrons in the chamber (thanks Lotta!).
- More information can be found here
- Computation and logging of stored electric energy.
- Forces on electrons can be optionally calculated using electromagnetic potentials instead of quasi-static approximation (thanks Lorenzo!).
- More information can be found here.
- Cython implementation of Boris tracker can now handle longitudinal magnetic field.
- Simple parallelization for buildup simulation (only single-grid supported for now)
- An example can be found in
/testing/parallel_buildup.
- An example can be found in
- Improvements in photoemission module:
- Source of photoemission on the chamber in the horizontal plane can be specified by setting
x0_refl = 'left'orx0_refl = 'right'. - Check that specified outer circle is fully outside the chamber.
- Source of photoemission on the chamber in the horizontal plane can be specified by setting
This version of PyECLOUD is incompatible with Python 2.
