Particle Monitor

Simulation: MonitorsParticle MonitorParticle Monitor...

This dialog box offers the possibility to define a particle monitor or to change the particle monitor's properties. Particle Monitors are usually defined on 2D planes. Additionally, this type of monitor can be defined on non PEC surfaces.

Property Pages

The dialog box is split into three property pages:

Additional Information

Once a monitor is calculated, a 1D result plot Particle Monitor Result View based on the monitor specifications is available. Further results can be generated using the template based post processing. The template Evaluate Particle Monitors is located within the category Particles.

Furthermore, basic monitor information can be obtained from the Particle Monitor Statistics result file, that is also a part of the navigation tree. A typical result entry looks like this:

Monitor: Particle Monitor Test

    Particles: 2296 with 2296 hits

    Current  : -1 A

    Emittance: 3.506318e-005 rad m in u-direction

    Emittance: 3.484329e-005 rad m in v-direction

The emittance of a 2D plane particle monitor is calculated as follows:
