From 8e02325f765727c39c56257c82c0c9b8bc33f7d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Axel Huebl Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 15:54:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] PlasmaLensImpactX: Repair, export and test The class was never exported from `abel/__init__.py` and never referenced, and had accumulated enough breakage that it could not have run against a modern ImpactX: * `TaperedPL(units=0)` - the keyword is `unit`, renamed upstream long ago; the call raised `TypeError`. * `beam2particle_container(beam0, sim)` passed the simulation object positionally into the `nom_energy` slot. * The simulation was built by hand without `particle_shape` or `init_grids()`, so it raised `RuntimeError` before tracking. * The integrated focusing strength was missing its length factor: `TaperedPL(unit=0)` takes `k = L * g / (B*rho)`, but the code summed to `g * c / E`, i.e. a factor `length` too small. * The sign hard-coded electrons instead of using `beam.charge_sign()`. * A `BeamMonitor` was constructed and never used. `track()` now builds a lattice and delegates to `run_impactx()`, the same way `InterstagePlasmaLensImpactX` does, which removes the hand- rolled simulation setup entirely. `num_slices` and `use_apertures` are exposed; apertures are off by default to match the other `PlasmaLens` implementations. Verified against `PlasmaLensNonlinearThick`, which models the same drift-kick sequence: beam sizes agree to <1e-4 relative and the offset-induced deflection to <5e-4, across plain / offset / tapered configurations.
