Output files formats

beam files :

Two files beam1.dat and beam2.dat are produced containing the particles of the first and second beam respectively, after the beam-beam collision. The number of particles contained in those files corresponds to the number of macro-particles used for the simulation. To produce those files the switch store_beam=1 is needed.

With do_dump = 1 one gets dump files of the beams during the interaction : b1.n and b2.n (n being the number of the step)

beamstrahlung photon files :

A file photon.dat contains the beamstrahlung photons after the interaction. The number of photons contained in this file corresponds to the number of macro-particles used for the simulation. One has to renormalized this number with the real number of particles. To produce this file the switches do_photons=1 and store_photons=1 are needed.

pairs, Compton files :

A file secondaries.dat is produced containing the secondary particles coming from incoherent pair creation or from compton scattering.

To produce this file the switches do_pairs=1 or (exclusive) do_compt=1 or do_bhabhas = 1, and track_secondaries=1 and store_secondaries=1 are needed

(+ grid=7, pair_q2=2 and beam_size=1).

Luminosity files

if do_lumi=1 a file lumi.ee.out (e-e collisions) is produced.

if do_lumi=2 files lumi.eg.out and lumi.ge.out (e-gamma and gamma-e collisions) is produced.

if do_lumi=4 a file lumi.gg.out (gamma-gamma collisions) is produced.

hadrons files : hadron.dat
