	<P><B>Description:</B>
	</P>
	<P>Define a computation that calculates the per-atom translational
	kinetic energy for each atom in a group.
	</P>
	<P>The kinetic energy is simply 1/2 m v^2, where m is the mass and v is
	the velocity of each atom.
	</P>
	<P>The value of the kinetic energy will be 0.0 for atoms not in the
	specified compute group.
	</P>
	<P><B>Output info:</B>
	</P>
	<P>This compute calculates a per-atom vector, which can be accessed by
	any command that uses per-atom values from a compute as input. See
	<A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_15">Section_howto 15</A> for an overview of
	LAMMPS output options.

	<P>The per-atom vector values will be in energy <A HREF = "units.html">units</A>.
