0.8.0

New features

Intrabeam Scattering

• Implementation of IBS effect in mbtrack2, the IntrabeamScattering class was added in mbtrack2.tracking.ibs.
• It implements an approximate IBS kick based on an analytical model.
• Four analytical models are available: Piwinski Standard, Piwinski Modified, Completely Integrated Piwinski model, and Bane high-energy approximation. It is recommended to use Completely Integrated Piwinski model (CIMP) for fast simulations.

Important behavior change in Optics class

• Default behavior of Optics is changed when AT lattice is loaded: now it defaults to optic function to s=0 instead of average ones.
• Default behavior of LongRangeResistiveWall and ImpedanceModel when an AT lattice is loaded is to normalized by average_beta / local_beta
• Adds Optics.average_beta attribute

Nonlinear chromaticity

• Synchrotron.get_chroma can be used to compute nonlinear chromaticity from pyAT lattice.
• Nonlinear chromaticity can be used in TransverseMap and TransverseSectorMap.
• TransverseMap now inherits from TransverseSectorMap.

SynchrotronRadiation object

• Adds a SynchrotronRadiation.qexcitation optional parameter to turn off quantum excitation.
• Improved performance.

Other improvements and modifications

• General performance improvements in many classes.
• Update CircularResistiveWall class in resistive_wall.py to replace numerical integrations with analytical forms for improved performance.
• Use scipy.integrate.trapezoid for compatibility with newer version of numpy
• Update BeamIonElement to work in a more general case.
• Update TransverseSpaceCharge to work in a more general case.
• ComplexData.name_and_coefficients_table is now a staticmethod.
• Extend WakeField to "mixed" componenets (xydip, yxdip, ...).
• Small fix/improvements for rf.py (CavityResonator for n_bin=1)
• Add Element.track_bunch_if_non_empty decorator.
• Modify Bunch.binning to add a return_full_length optional parameter.
• Modify Mpi.share_distributions for n_bin=1.
• Modify WakePotential for n_bin=1 and use track_bunch_if_non_empty decorator.
• Modify PhysicalModel to return errors if needed.
• Adds Beam.init_bunch_list_mpi, a convenience method to initialize a beam using MPI parallelisation with a Bunch per core.

Project management

• Add > 400 tests and organize them in unit-tests and physics-tests.
• Add assert_attr_changed test function.
• renamed particles_electromagnetic_fields.py into emfields.py and changed all the imports
• added CODEOWNERS file for automatic review assignment for merge requests
• Update pyproject.toml and poetry.lock with pytest-mock

Bugfix

• Fix CavityResonator.is_CBI_stable
• Fix quadrupolar wake potential sign
• Bugfixes with beam_ion_elements.py
• Fix adts in TransverseMapSector
• Fix WakePotential.check_sampling
• Fix Sweep.plot
• Fix Monitor sub-classes sometimes getting stuck when flushing data.
• Fix generate_transverse_map_sector functionality to deduce chromaticity from pyAT lattice.
