Physics

LILI is designed to be modular with different physics implemented as separate modules. To achieve this, some design choices are required to maintain interoperability between different physics modules.

Physical units

LILI uses Gaussian units for all physical quantities with further normalizations given by:

Value

Speed of light

\(1\)

Electron charge

\(e\)
