Kassiopeia: Simulation of electric and magnetic fields and particle tracking

This simulation package by the KATRIN collaboration allows to run highly customizable particle tracking simulations along with calculations of electric and magnetic fields.

Quick start: Try it out online in an interactive Binder session. Open a "VNC (Desktop)" tab and a terminal tab and run

Kassiopeia $KASPERSYS/config/Kassiopeia/Examples/DipoleTrapSimulation.xml

to run your first simulation! Note: A VTK error indicates that the "VNC (Desktop)" tab is not open yet.
