Hi,

I am Can, a postdoc from the University of Manchester and I am working on low
energy injectors.

I have recently started using OPAL.

I started with the RF PhotoInjector example given in the wiki page to get used
to OPAL but the results I obtained are different than the benchmark plots.

I used the provided input files and changed the number of macro particles and
mesh as advised (1E5 and 32^3). I used the .stat output file to plot rms beam
size, normalized emittance, bunch length and energy but none of the plots
showing agreement with the ones in the page.

May I kindly ask if it is an issue related to the OPAL version or I do
something wrong while plotting the output file ?

Best Regards,
Can
