(isotropic)

The isotropic radiation model assumes that all particles emit radiation uniformly in all directions. Mathematically, this radiation model takes the form

(1)\[\frac{\mathrm{d} P}{\mathrm{d}\Omega} = P_0,\]

where \(P_0\) is a user-defined constant. Note that the angular distribution of radiation is independent of any particle or background plasma properties.

Summary of options

Option Description
@RadiationModel(isotropic) value The value of \(P_0\) in (1).

Example configuration
