If this result stays persistent throughout the upcoming data analysis at other Lorentz factors, we can close this issue.

Just for those interested, the numerical thermalization is only influencing the growth rate up until t=12 omega_pe. Then the KHI kicks in and since its growth rate is significantly higher...

The effect observed above only originates from a single run. If one runs multiple runs over different hardware and different initialization routines, the growth rate is consistently too low (in...

Furthermore, we **gain energy** during the simulation!!! Theoretically the kinetic energy stored within the particle stream should transfer part of its energy to the fields which than transfer this energy...

Please excuse the late reply @StevE-Ong. You are right, we mainly use the radiation plugin for (nonlinear) Thompsons scattering since computing radiation with the Liénard–Wiechert potential approach we use in...

@StevE-Ong Neither is correct. The axis with 256 entries is the index of observation. In your case, since you defined two angles in `radiationObserver.param`, the index is just a mapping...

@StevE-Ong Thanks a lot - I will have a look.

Okay, the mapping of a 3D vector that covers a 2D position on the unit sphere onto a 1D angle causes the strange overlapping structures. To illustrate that, I plotted...

You are welcome @StevE-Ong. The boxes in omega are common for limited resolution. You are totally right, they are no problem. You plots look great and correct to me. Regarding...

If you want radiation prediction based on the models in A. Gonoskov et al. please use the synchrotron model (which is currently only extremely sparsely documented: https://picongpu.readthedocs.io/en/0.5.0/models/photons.html)
