*`charge_per_step`: Maximum number of charge carriers to propagate together. Divides the total number of deposited charge carriers at a specific point into sets of this number of charge carriers and a set with the remaining charge carriers. A value of 10 charges per step is used by default if this value is not specified.
*`timestep`: Time step for the Runge-Kutta integration, representing the granularity with which the induced charge is calculated. Default value is 0.01ns.
*`integration_time`: Time within which charge carriers are propagated. After exceeding this time, no further propagation is performed for the respective carriers. Defaults to the LHC bunch crossing time of 25ns.
*`distance`: Maximum distance of electrodes to be considered for current induction, calculated from the electrode the charge carrier under investigation is below. A distance of `1` for example means that the induced current for the closest electrode plus all neighbors is calculated. It should be noted that the time required for simulating a single event depends almost linearly on the number of pixels the induced charge is calculated for. Usually, a 3x3 grid (9 pixels, distance 1) should suffice since the weighting potential at a distance of more than one pixel pitch often is small enough to be neglected while the simulation time is almost tripled for `distance = 2` (5x5 grid, 25 pixels).

*`ignore_magnetic_field`: The magnetic field, if present, is ignored for this module. Defaults to false.
*`output_plots` : Determines if simple output plots should be generated for a monitoring of the simulation flow. Disabled by default.
