Function crpropa::ElecaPropagation

Function Documentation

void crpropa::ElecaPropagation(const std::string &inputfile, const std::string &outputfile, bool showProgress = true, double lowerEnergyThreshold = 0.8010882435, double magneticFieldStrength = 1E-13, const std::string &background = "ALL")

Propagate photons, electrons and positrons using the EleCa code. The propagation is stopped when the particles reach the observer or their energy drops below the threshold energy.

Parameters

  • inputfile – input in PhotonOutput1D format

  • outputfile – output in PhotonOutput1D format

  • showProgress – show a progress bar

  • lowerEnergyThreshold – threshold energy [J], default = 5 EeV

  • magneticFieldStrength – magnetic field strength [T], default = 1 nG

  • background – photon background string
