pyPartAnalysis

Package for processing ImpactT and ImpactZ particle distributions as well as performing analysis on particle distributions in pandas dataframes.

Compatibility

Compatible with Python 3.8.5.

Works with the default NERSC python module as of June 5th, 2022.

Adding Directory to PYTHONPATH on NERSC

To make the pyPartAnalysis module available on the Python and Jupyter path, add the following lines to the .bashrc file in the home directory:

export PYTHONPATH='/global/homes/firstletterofusername/username/pyPartAnalysis'
export JUPYTER_PATH='/global/homes/firstletterofusername/username/pyPartAnalysis'

Note that we assume that the directory is in the home directory of 'username', where username is replaced with your name; though the path can be to wherever the module is eventually stored.

Example Use Cases for ImpactT/Z

Example Jupyter notebooks using ImpactT and ImpactZ output files can by found here. This package can be useful for creating interesting visualizations of from the particle distributions, such as the ones below:

Series of z slices along the normalized x phase space.

Transversely binned bunching factor vs wavelength.
