Name

snappeak - find peak in each phase space coordinate using a mode analysis

Synopsis

snappeak in=in_file [parameter=value] ...

Description

snappeak finds the peak in the distribution of points in phase space. When the coordinate system is cartesian, the peaks in position actually correspond to the density center.

This method is an application of the general problem of the statistical analysis of a (probablity) distribution function. One can determine the median, position where there is equal chance (half) of being to the left or right, the mean being the averaged position of a distribution function and the mode where the distribution function takes its maximum value (probability). This program computes the maximum peak value of the distribution function in each coordinate independantly.

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized:
in=in_file
input file, in snapshot(5NEMO) format. Default: none.
window=number
The number of particles used in the sliding window of the mode analysis. It is a kind of smoothing parameter. [default: 100].
times=time-ranges
Only snapshots with time values within times-ranges, which is of the form ts[:te],..., will be copied. [default: all].

Caveats

This program has not been loaded in the official release of NEMO. If you need it, ask the author for a copy or to add it to NEMO. Better alternatives are snapcenter(1NEMO) , and snapdens(1NEMO)
