add new default species for QED module. #250

Closed MerlinPendragon closed 4 years ago

MerlinPendragon commented 4 years ago

Hi guys, I simply added 3 more default species for QED module of EPOCH. But the scalar property should change for photon since its mass equals 0. Any idea?

skuschel commented 4 years ago

Hi @MerlinPendragon thanks a lot for your contribution. I agree that these default names are not captured, but probably used within the QED context. Regarding the scalar property of photons: I took a quick look into the epoch manual but didnt see how the photon energies are written and what properties you will need to access. Maybe you can explain and we can work out a solution.

I will merge this as its a change in itself. Maybe you like to open an issue to disucuss how other photon properties can be accessed?

Thank you! It's mainly about the energy of photon. I will probably add a new scalar property for photon and open another pull request.

Sounds good. I hope we can find something which will be equally useful for particles and photons.
