Abstract
A unified set of conventions and normalizations for the inputs and outputs of delta-f flux-tube gyrokinetic simulations has been developed within the ITER Integrated Modelling and Analysis Suite (IMAS). This new standard aims at facilitating benchmarks and data exchange between different code users, increasing the modularity of frameworks manipulating inputs and outputs from gyrokinetic simulations and serving as the basis for databases storing simulations from multiple gyrokinetic codes.
