Quantifying the effect of magnetic field line curvature scattering on the loss of ring current ions

The datas used for the paper of "Quantifying the effect of magnetic field line curvature scattering on the loss of ring current ions"

The file contains three folders data_kp4, data_kp5, data_kp6 for the simulations under Kp index of 4,5 and 6 respectively. Each of them contains subfolders with name including  _He_, _o_, and _proton_ for the species of proton, He+ and O+ respectively. Under these subfolders there are several subfolders for the simulations under different initial equatorial x-position at the midnight. Each of them contains folders with name of data appended with numbers. Under these folders there are three important files of ini_params.dat, fin_param.dat, tdrift.dat, screenoutput.txt.

init_params.dat contains ten numbers of: energy in MeV, equatorial pitch angle in degree, initial positions Lx, y, z, radius of curvature \(R_{c}\), \(\kappa\), \(\zeta_{1}, \zeta_{2}, \eta\). The last four parameters are the kappa parameter and the parameters in Young et al. 2002 used for formulating empirical formula for the single field line curvature scattering.

fin_params.dat contains five colum data: particle tag number, status if the particle (0 stay until the end of the simulations, 1 lost to the inner boundary, 2 lost to the outer boundary, 3 stopped as trapped), time of loss in second or end of simulations if stayed until the end, number of mirrorings, \(<\frac{(\frac{\delta \mu}{\mu})^2}{2 t}>\)

tdrif.dat contains two column data of : particle tag number and the time in second to complete the first full drift.

screenoutput.txt contains text information of the run
