Detailed Description

defines the maximum number of rays that can be stored in memory before dumping to file

Todo:

The CHUNK_SIZE should not be hardcoded it should also be optimized with tests

particleStatus_t

raytracing::particleStatus_t

particle statues are defined by the openPMD extension as integers with

• 1: active/alive particle
• other: any other value is used for "dead" particles, the effective value and meaining depends on the simulation software used

In the ray tracing extension only raytracing::kDead and raytracing::kAlive values are used
