acceleratingVoltage

Works with VSimBase, VSimEM, VSimPD, VSimPA, and VSimMD licenses.

Indicates Vorpal should perform the diagnostic activity of measuring the accelerating voltage received by an electron traveling at a fixed velocity across a gap in a cavity structure. This history uses the definition of accelerating voltage found in [Pad09]. This hiStory is useful for RF cavity simulations.

acceleratingVoltage Parameters

field (string vector, required): The oscillating electric field that accelerates the test electron.

startPosition (double vector, required): The starting point for the test electron.

endPosition (double vector, required): The ending point for the test electron.

velocity (double vector, required): The velocity of the test electron. This is usually set to the speed of light.

  kind = acceleratingVoltage
  field = multiField.elecField
  startPosition = [0. 0. 0.]
  endPosition = [0. 0. CYL_LEN]
