Particle Monitor Result View

The particle monitor result view displays the pre-recorded 2D Results of a particle monitor. It represents the recorded data extracted of the particle monitor's surface. The specific settings of the plot are defined using the particle monitor's property dialog box. Below, some typical examples of particle plots are listed:

A xy-position plot displays the 2D position of the piercing point of the particles hitting the monitor's surface. The position is presented relative to the monitoring plane's local coordinate system, i.e. monitoring planes defined with the help of a WCS present a WCS related position of the particles position. Monitors defined in the GCS or on an arbitrary surface record the position in absolute coordinates given by the GCS.

Phasespace Plot

The phasespace plot displays the piercing angle of the particles' velocity to the monitoring plane's normal in respect to the position of the piercing point in one dimension. Choosing the same position direction and angle direction leads to a phasespace-diagram which clearly identifies the focusing or defocusing property of the beam at the monitor's position.

Velocity Histogram

The histogram representation displays statistical data of the particles crossing the monitor's surface. The velocity plot displays the normalized quantity of particles with the given velocity.
