switchSpeciesSrc

switchSpeciesSrc

This is a particle source that will emit already existing particles as a different particle species. Must be coupled with a particle absorber from the source species.

This kind of particle source is available with a VSimPA license.

switchSpeciesSrc Parameters

switchSpecies (string): Species to which the particles will be switched.

ptclAbsorber (string): Name of the particle absorber from the source species. Particles that impact this absorber will be switched to the species defined in switchSpecies.

minDim (integer): Bracketed times for when the source/emitter will generate particles.

Example Particle Source of Kind switchSpeciesSrc

<ParticleSource beamElectronsSwitchEmitter>
  kind = switchSpeciesSrc
  switchSpecies = ElectronBeam
  ptclAbsorber = beamElectronsSwitchAbsorber
  minDim = 1
</ParticleSource>
