Hi Simon,

I supposed you have checked that the points inside the field maps are correctly ordered, e.g. for 3D field maps the z coordinate is the fastest and, y is next , and x is the slowest.

 

Did you try to normalize the field map?

 

Thanks,

Dragos

Good morning Andreas,

Please follow this link to the fieldmaps (named cst2opal_100keV_xyz_3DDynamic.t7 and cst2opal_100keV_xz_2DDynamic.t7)

Hello Simon, I can not see an obvious mistake. Please share the 

field maps then I can have  detailed look at the problem.

 

 

Thanks & 

Cheers A

Dear OPAL-Team,

I am trying to simulate a DC electron source. I implemented a 2DDynamics fieldmap into OPAL, that I've exported from CST. Furthermore I've set the frequency to 1 Hz as shown in the DC Gun example.

Unfortunately the longitudinal phase spaces look unexpected. Here I've plotted the h5-output for the gun simulation as well as a pure drift simulation of a 100keV electron beam (same bunch sizes and parameters but the energy is fixed) as comparison.

One can see a strange saw-tooth like pattern convoluted with another almost trident-like one.

This is my emitted gaussian distribution (nothing special, I'd say):

distr_gauss:
    DISTRIBUTION,
    TYPE = GAUSS,
    SIGMAR = 0.5e-3, CUTOFFR = 3,
    CUTOFFLONG = 3;

distr_debug:
    distr_gauss,
    EMITTED=true,
    SIGMAT = 10.0e-12,
    NBIN = 0,  // This I've varied
    EMISSIONSTEPS=10,  // this I've varied too
    EMISSIONMODEL = NONE;

Maybe you see something obvious, that I did wrong? (I've also put my input file in the attachement, the fieldmaps are quite large, if you want them I'll add a seafile link)

I've compared the Ez-field of the reference particle. It looks exactly like the one I've exported from CST. (My next idea was to dumb all E-fields and plot this, but this could be a lot of work and might not bring up the source of the problem). And I've also imported a 3DDynamics field, but there is also no difference to be seen (the source has a cylindrical symmetry, so both should work).

Best regards and thank you very much as always in advance

Simon
