Add field ionization physics to VPIC:

  • Calculate the ionization rate (multiphoton ionization, ADK ionization, and BSI ionization) based on the interpolated E-field
  • Compare ionization probability and uniform random number to decide if a given ionization event occurs.
  • Add functionality to check for multiple ionization events in a single timestep.
  • Change the particle's charge to make it the appropriate ion.
  • Add a macro electron with the appropriate weight.
  • Account for energy conservation due to energy loss from the field.
