Maximum-J Objective #1273

Open dpanici opened 1 day ago

dpanici commented 1 day ago

With the bounce averaging and bounce point finding utilities, it should be possible to do max-J optimization like is done recently by Goodman, also relevant paper by Rodriguez

Max J optimization usually works by taking the derivatives of J which end up being bounce averages of cvdrift and gbdrift as done in the bounce average shifted circle test.
