Notes. The table shows the cone angle α, number of macro-particles representing protons N, proton density np, proton bulk velocity υ p, and temperature kBTp. The value shown for N is the total number of macro-particles in the two time steps together, while the densities, velocities, and temperatures are averages of the two time steps. The centre rc and radius rsph of each sphere where the particle data were collected are also listed. Density and velocity numbers have been omitted for the cavity in the cone angle α = 90° case, because no statistical significant result can be obtained with only three macro-particles.
