ITER Physics Data Model Documentation for amns_data

Atomic, molecular, nuclear and surface physics data. Each occurrence contains the data for a given element (nuclear charge), describing various physical processes. For each process, data tables are organized by charge states. The coordinate system used by the data tables is described under the coordinate_system node.

Notation of array of structure indices: itime indicates a time index; i1, i2, i3, ... indicate other indices with their depth in the IDS. This notation clarifies the path of a given node, but should not be used to compare indices of different nodes (they may have different meanings).

ids_properties/name User-defined name for this IDS occurrence {constant}. Introduced after DD version 3.39.0 STR_0D
ids_properties/homogeneous_time This node must be filled (with 0, 1, or 2) for the IDS to be valid.

ids_properties/provenance/node(i1)/reference(i2) List of references used to populate or calculate this node, identified as explained below. In case the node is the result of of a calculation / data processing, the reference is an input to the process described in the "code" structure at the root of the IDS. The reference can be an IDS (identified by a URI or a persitent identifier, see syntax in the link below) or non-IDS data imported directly from an non-IMAS database (identified by the command used to import the reference, or the persistent identifier of the data reference). Often data are obtained by a chain of processes, however only the last process input are recorded here. The full chain of provenance has then to be reconstructed recursively from the provenance information contained in the data references. Click here for further documentation..
