Virtual-IPM

Virtual-IPM is a software for simulating the electron/ion transport in Ionization Profile Monitors (IPM) and other related devices, such as Beam Induced Fluorescence Monitors (BIF). It can simulate quite general setups involving the space-charge fields from one or multiple particle beams as well as the presence of external electric/magnetic guiding fields. The application can be used from the command line but it offers a rich graphical user interface (GUI) as well.

The software has a modular structure which allows for great flexibility in terms of combining the various different realizations of beam fields, external fields, detector geometry, etc.

Use cases

The following list is a brief overview of possible use cases:

  • Beam profile deformation due to beam space-charge

  • Beam profile deformation due to guiding field non-uniformities

  • Gas-jet for IPM and BIF

  • Simulating the effect of multiple beams on electron/ion transport

Installation

Virtual-IPM can be installed via pip with or without GUI components. pip install Virtual-IPM[GUI] installs the application together with the graphical user interface while pip install Virtual-IPM just installs the command line version. For more information see the documentation.

Graphical User Interface

The GUI can be started via virtual-ipm-gui. At the top, it offers buttons for various functionality:

Command Line Usage

The application can be run from the command line via virtual-ipm path/to/config.xml. For customization and options see virtual-ipm --help.

The application also ships with a number of other command line utilities, e.g. for plotting beam fields from configuration files.
