Particle attributes
You are here: Home > PIConGPU User Documentation > Particle attributes
The attributes of all particles can be found in $PICSRC/src/picongpu/include/simulation_defines/param/particleDefinition.param.
| Attribute name | Description |
|---|---|
| position_pic | |
| momentum | |
| momentumPrev | (only with the Radiation plugin) |
| weighting | |
| radiationFlag | (only with the Radiation plugin) |
| globalCellIdx_pic |
There are two other values that can be accessed by particle[<identifier>_]. The first can be identified by multiMask which encodes numerically if the thread "is" a particle or not and if so: if it leaves the supercell in a specific direction. The second is localCellIdx which describes the position of a particle inside a supercell by a linear index.
See the definition and usage in $PICSRC/src/libPMacc/include/particles/Identifier.hpp
Continue with "Plugins".
