KEMPIC-3D: A transparent and extensible electromagnetic Particle-in-Cell framework for kinetic plasma simulations
Jesús E. López, Keren C. Vanegas, Eduardo A. Orozco-Ospino
KEMPIC-3D, a fully electromagnetic three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) code, has been developed in C/C++ and systematically verified for the self-consistent simulation of kine…
Numerical study of electron acceleration by microwave-driven plasma wakefields in rectangular waveguides
Jesús E. López, Eduardo A. Orozco-Ospino
Plasma-based acceleration schemes have attracted sustained interest as a pathway toward compact particle accelerators, owing to the large electric fields supported by plasmas. Alth…
