Preliminary data sets

Data sets generated for the initial evaluation of the ion-acoustic response of beams consisting of 104 particles entering a 30cm x 30cm x 30cm water phantom.

Parameter Definition
X-position Mean initial position about which the particles are distributed on the x-axis (horizontal)
Y-position Mean initial position about which the particles are distributed on the y-axis (vertical)
Normalised x-momentum Mean initial x-component of momentum, normalised with respect to the total particle momentum of particles
Normalised y-momentum Mean initial y-component of momentum, normalised with respect to the total particle momentum of particles
Energies Mean initial mean particle energy
Temporal spread Mean initial time particle enters the phantom relative to time = 0

Each "batch" refers to a group of runs which vary one parameter or the distribution of a parameter. For example, Batch 1 varies the mean initial energy of particles entering the phantom.

The "input file" specifies the initial positions and momenta of particles and should be read as:

x-position [mm] | normalised x-momentum | y-position [mm] | normalised y-momentum | particle energy [MeV] | particle entry time [mm] |

The "output file" gives a complete history of energy depositions due to the 104 particles as they travel through the phantom. Each initial particle is assigned an EventNum between 0 and 9999. At each point where the particle (or a derivative particle radiated as a result of energy deposit of the initial particle) deposits energy as it travels in the phantom, the total energy deposit and the x- y- and z-position of this deposit is recorded. The Global Time at which the particle deposits the energy is recorded, relative to t = 0 when the first particle enters. Delta time refers to the time step between this energy deposit and the previous deposit by this particle. Particle Name specifies the type of particle responsible for this deposit. The header row of these files denote the meaning of each column.
