Configuration

SMASH is configured via an input file in YAML format. Typically you will start from the supplied config.yaml file and modify it according to your needs. If you ever make a mistake there and specify a configuration key that SMASH does not recognize, then on startup it will tell you about the keys it could not make any sense of.

By default, SMASH copies the config.yaml file used to set up the SMASH run to the output directory of the simulation. For the sake of reproducibility, the randomly generated number seed (if the user specified a negative seed) is inserted into the copied file and the used particles and decaymodes are appended as well.

The available keys are documented on the following pages:

• General
• Logging
• Version
• Collision Term
• Modi
• Output Configuration
• Lattice
• Potentials
• Forced Thermalization
