generate_test_photons¶
- marxs.utils.generate_test_photons(n=1)[source] [edit on github]¶
Generate a photon structure for testing.
This function returns a table of
n
identical photons with standard properties:position:
x=1; y=0; z=0
direction: negative x-axis
energy: 1 keV
polarization: y-direction
This is useful for testing purposes.
- Parameters:
- nint
number of photons to generate
- Returns:
- photons
