SD.TL

The file SD.TL is the search output file generated by TensErLEED and is read repeatedly by viperleed.calc during the structure search to extract information on the progress of the search. It contains the the current and previous state of all individuals in the search population and is periodically updated (see parameter SEARCH_POPULATION). The name SD.TL is used by convention and defined in the search-PARAM file.

TensErLEED appends information about the current last search generation to the file at predefined intervals. For every individual in the search population, SD.TL lists the current parameter-indices, best-fit real part of the inner potential and the corresponding \(R\) factor.
