Verification of a Fully Implicit Particle-in-Cell Method for the $v_{\parallel }$ Formalism of Electromagnetic Gyrokinetics in the XGC Code

Benjamin J. Sturdevant, S. Ku, L. Chacón +8

A fully implicit particle-in-cell method for handling the $v_{\parallel }$-formalism of electromagnetic gyrokinetics has been implemented in XGC. By choosing the $v_{\parallel }$-formali…
