Test the tabled magnetic field option

Identification

• Site: Tests_polarization
• Author: Peter Willendrup
• Origin: DTU
• Date: 2024

Description

A test instrument to check that supplying a magnetic field as a vector field point cloud
is working. The field referred to by the default input parameter MF is 10 \mu T along the z-axis
at entry and flips to l0 \mu T along the negative z-axis halfway through

Examples

(Test cases in bold)

• Test: -n1e4 interpol_method=default MF=flipfield.dat Detector: pol_6_I=1.0
• Test: -n1e4 interpol_method=default MF=constfield.dat Detector: polx_6_I=0.05

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
MF	string	Field definition file	"flipfield.dat"
zdepth	m	Z-dimension of field	1
interpol_method	string	Choice of interpolation method "kdtree" (default on CPU) / "regular" (default on GPU)	"default"
