$WavePropaGator$: interactive framework for X-ray free-electron laser optics design and simulations

摘要

The $WavePropaGator$ (WPG) package is a new interactive cross-platform open-source software framework for modeling of coherent and partially coherent X-ray wavefront propagation. The WPG addresses the needs of beamline scientists and user groups to facilitate the design, optimization and improvement of X-ray optics to meet their experimental requirements. The paper presents a general description of the package and gives some recent application examples.
