Particle Merging Algorithm for PIC Codes

Marija Vranic, Thomas Grismayer, Joana L. Martins +2

Particle-in-cell merging algorithms aim to resample dynamically the six-dimensional phase space occupied by particles without distorting substantially the physical description of t…

Ion motion in the wake driven by long particle bunches in plasmas

J. Vieira, R. A. Fonseca, W. B. Mori +1

We explore the role of the background plasma ion motion in self-modulated plasma wakefield accelerators. We employ J. Dawson's plasma sheet model to derive expressions for the tran…

Electromagnetic field generation in the downstream of electrostatic shocks due to electron trapping

A. Stockem, T. Grismayer, R. A. Fonseca +1

A new magnetic field generation mechanism in electrostatic shocks is found, which can produce fields with magnetic energy density as high as 0.01 of the kinetic energy density of t…

Elimination of the numerical Cerenkov instability for spectral EM-PIC codes

Peicheng Yu, Xinlu Xu, Viktor K. Decyk +7

When using an electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EM-PIC) code to simulate a relativistically drifting plasma, a violent numerical instability known as the numerical Cerenkov instabi…

Exploring the nature of collisionless shocks under laboratory conditions

A. Stockem, F. Fiuza, A. Bret +2

Collisionless shocks are pervasive in astrophysics and they are critical to understand cosmic ray acceleration. Laboratory experiments with intense lasers are now opening the way t…
