Hi Tadzio,


the best way to explore the HDF5 syntax is to just open the file in
HDFView (also available in package repositories for ubuntu/debian and
other platforms)
  https://www.hdfgroup.org/products/java/hdfview/

All our stored data sets are normed, to get their value in SI units just
multiply them with the attribute "sim_unit".

The "density" per species is currently actually a "charge density", so
it will be negative for your electrons.

The axis are C-style, making them z, y, x. Absolute size in cells and
offsets are also encoded in an attribute, see
  https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/picongpu/issues/924

Thanks (on behalf of all developers)! :)

Best,
Axel
