Query: Recovering the damping rates of cyclotron damped plasma waves from
  simulation data   Plasma waves with frequencies close to the particular gyrofrequencies of the
charged particles in the plasma lose energy due to cyclotron damping. We
briefly discuss the gyro-resonance of low frequency plasma waves and ions
particularly with regard to particle-in-cell (PiC) simulations. A setup is
outlined which uses artificially excited waves in the damped regime of the wave
mode's dispersion relation to track the damping of the wave's electromagnetic
fields. Extracting the damping rate directly from the field data in real or
Fourier space is an intricate and non-trivial task. We therefore present a
simple method of obtaining the damping rate {\Gamma} from the simulation data.
This method is described in detail, focusing on a step-by-step explanation of
the course of actions. In a first application to a test simulation we find that
the damping rates obtained from this simulation generally are in good agreement
with theoretical predictions. We then compare the results of one-, two- and
three-dimensional simulation setups and simulations with different physical
parameter sets.
