Particle-in-cell code EPOCH used to reproduce figure 1 plots using simulation details given in appendix. Python used for reading SDF files, processing and visualising data.
Vaguely familiar with EPOCH
EPOCH code and SDF submodule
EPOCH, SDF helper, Python, Gfortran, OpenMPI, Matplotlib
No real challenges in reproducing figure 1
Once input deck setup and visualisation script written not much human effort required to tweak and see effect.
xmin and xmax of the simulation were not given explicitly, although they could be roughly inferred from the limits of figure 1
Every other simulation detail given explicitly in appendix which allowed easy reproduction
Analysis pretty transparent, only time constraints stopped an attempt at reproducing later figures
All input decks and analysis code made available
Given more time I feel the paper is fully reproducible and sufficient detail given to do so.
