You need to be a bit careful as the particle names are not guaranteed to be unique (there are often a ton of particles with names like "CA" for example).

If you don't care about speed and it is a one-off sort of thing, you can also do something like [x for x in container.get_particles() if x.get_name()=="my name"]
