phenom-xfel 0.0.2

A phenomenological model of X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) radiation and radiation statistics.

PHENOM

A phenomenological model of X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) radiation.

The PHENOM python package is designed to provide a simple, robust and computationally efficient method for generating representations of the complex wavefield of X-ray Free Electron Laser pulses. By making use of approximate representations of pulse wavefront and spectra, phenom allows large ensembles of photon pulses with arbitrary statistics to be generated in a truly python-ised manner.

Getting Started

At the command line::

$ pip install phenom-xfel

To check that your instillation has worked, open iPython and try::

$ import phenom

For more information on usage, see the docs here.

Examples

Phenom has been designed to require minimal knowledge of the XFEL process prior to generating your first pulse.

1. Generating your first pulse with phenom
2. Simulating a SASE Source.
3. A Model of the European XFEL.

More details on generating these pulses can be found in the documentation.
