trace_trajectory¶

disco.trace_trajectory(config, particle_state, field_model, verbose=1)[source]¶

Calculate particle trajectories.

Parameters:

configdisco.TraceConfig: Configuration for performing the trace
particle_statedisco.ParticleState: Initial conditions of the particles
field_modeldisco.FieldModel or disco.FieldModelLoader: Magnetic and Electric field context
verboseint: Set to zero to supress print statements

Returns:

History of the trajectories as a ParticleHistory object. If config.output_freq is None, contains
only the first and last step.

Examples

>>> history = disco.trace_trajectory(
      config, particle_state, field_model
    )
>>> history.save("trajectories.h5")
