Some questions on input script

[laxmisubramanyam]

Hi friends,

Could you please let me know how the pulse duration (tau) and spot size (w0) are defined in the example script (https://fbpic.github.io/example_input/lwfa_script.html). I means, is it in rms or FWHM.

Besides, I have one more short question. The spot size, which is given as w0 in the example script file, is half of the beam waist or it defines full beam waist ?

Thanks and best regards,
Laxmi

Thanks for the question @laxmisubramanyam.
Both tau and w0 are defined on this page of the documentation: https://fbpic.github.io/api_reference/lpa_utilities/laser_profiles/gaussian.html
Does the above answer your question?

Hi @RemiLehe , thanks for referring to the documentation page. It's pretty clear now.
