Luna - v0.5.1

Luna v0.5.1

PPT ionisation rate update

We have further updated the PPT ionisation rate to include a correction for the polarisability of the cation state. prop_capillary now accepts a new keyword argument, PPT_options::Dict{Symbol, Any}, with which many keyword options for the PPT rate can be set. For more detail, see https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/388 and for available keyword arguments see the docstring for Ionisation.ionrate_fun_PPT: https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/blob/4c4e6937a8356b5b63d13df67aac7e187186c512/src/Ionisation.jl#L282

Documentation

The documentation has been updated to include a derivation of the mode-averaged guided propagation model in Luna.

Minor updates

Luna simulations no longer save string-formatted dumps of the whole setup to save processing time and significant disk space (https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/383)
There is a new execution mode for scans, Scans.SlurmExec. As the name suggests this creates and submits a batch job file to run parallel scans on a machine with slurm installed (https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/392)
Several minor bugs have been fixed (https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/385, https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/381, https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/380)

PPT ionisation rate updates

We have updated the PPT ionisation rate in Luna to reflect additional physical details and correct an error in how we account for different angular momentum states. In general, the effect will be to slightly increase ionisation rates and ionisation fractions for most gases, with a bigger effect in argon specifically. For more detail, see https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/363.

Minor updates

Processing.peakpower now supports the option to sum the optical power over modes with the sumdims keyword argument. (https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/354)
There is a new default statistics field, peakpower_allmodes which contains the maximum of the total optical power in all modes (https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/354)
The refractive index of gases is now complex-valued by default to avoid numerical issues when linearly propagating through e.g. air with large frequency grids (https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/359 and https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/365)
runscan now manually calls the garbage collector after every iteration to avoid memory leaks in long-running scans (https://github.com/LupoLab/Luna.jl/pull/367)
