Hyper Boris integrators for kinetic plasma simulations and their connection to 3D rotation representations
S. Zenitani, T. N. Kato
Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation is one of the most important research tools in theoretical plasma physics. To solve the motion of charged particles, the Boris method (a.k.a. the…

Hyper Boris integrators for kinetic plasma simulations
Seiji Zenitani, Tsunehiko N. Kato
We propose a family of numerical solvers for the nonrelativistic Newton--Lorentz equation in kinetic plasma simulations. The new solvers extend the standard 4-step Boris procedure,…
