0.9.0

Release description:

New features

Faster implementation of WakePotential class and binning of particles

• Improve Bunch.binning method and WakePotential class to allow for x5-10 times faster track calls.

Update feedback module

• Improve and rename ExponentialDamper into TransverseExponentialDamper:
  • Fix phase_diff option of ExponentialDamper which was not working properly.
  • Add optional local_beta parameter.
• Improve FIRDamper:
  • Add optional local_beta parameter.
  • Add get_damping_time and get_tune_shift methods.
• Update bunch by bunch feedback presentation notebook.

Restructure Beam-Ion simulations

• The BeamIonElement, IonMonitor, IonParticles work now in a more modular to allow for:
  • Variable ion macro-particle charge.
  • Tracking with a preset ion cloud.
  • Tracking with apertures.

Other improvements and modifications

• Add transverse_space_charge_tune_shift utility function.
• Improve Synchrotron.get_adts.
• Add read_GdfidL function.
• Add substract and divide magic method to Impedance/WakeFunction/ComplexData classes.

Project management

• Add a CITATION.cff file.
• Edit Dockerfile to remove conda context.
• Update pyproject.toml and poetry.lock.
• Update .gitlab-ci.yml file to switch from docker in docker to buildah.
• Remove mbtrack2.yml and support for conda install

Bugfix

• Fix issue with transverse_map_sector_generator when a pyAT lattice is loaded.
• Fix IBS calculation in IntrabeamScattering with the modified Piwinski model.
• Fix scalar addition with Impedance/WakeFunction/ComplexData classes.
• Fix WakeFunction.deconvolution for non dipolar wakes (quad/mono).
• Fix WakePotential.plot_gaussian_wake for monopolar wakes.
