* ``warpx.serialize_ics`` (`0 or 1`)
Whether or not to use OpenMP threading for particle initialization.
+* ``<species>.do_field_ionization`` (`0` or `1`) optional (default `0`)
+ Do field ionization for this species (using the ADK theory).

+* ``<species>.physical_element`` (`string`)
+ Only read if `do_field_ionization = 1`. Symbol of chemical element for

+* ``<species>.ionization_product_species`` (`string`)
+ Only read if `do_field_ionization = 1`. Name of species in which ionized
+ electrons are stored. This species must be created as a regular species
+ in the input file (in particular, it must be in `particles.species_names`).
+
+* ``<species>.ionization_initial_level`` (`int`) optional (default `0`)
+ Only read if `do_field_ionization = 1`. Initial ionization level of the
+ species (must be smaller than the atomic number of chemical element given
+ in `physical_element`).
