Implementation of a Mesh refinement algorithm into the quasi-static PIC code QuickPIC
Q. Su, F. Li, W. An +8
Plasma-based acceleration (PBA) has emerged as a promising candidate for the accelerator technology used to build a future linear collider and/or an advanced light source. In PBA,…
Accurate simulation of direct laser acceleration in a laser wakefield accelerator
Kyle G. Miller, John P. Palastro, Jessica L. Shaw +4
In a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA), an intense laser pulse excites a plasma wave that traps and accelerates electrons to relativistic energies. When the pulse overlaps the acc…
Kinetic theory of particle-in-cell simulation plasma and the ensemble averaging technique
Michael Touati, Romain Codur, Frank Tsung +3
We derive the kinetic theory of fluctuations in physically and numerically stable particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of electrostatic plasmas. The starting point is the single-time…
An Analytic Boris Pusher for Plasma Simulation
Viktor K. Decyk, Warren B. Mori, Fei Li
This paper discusses how to improve the Boris pusher used to advance relativistic charged particles in fixed electromagnetic fields. We first derive a simpler solution to a flaw pr…
Integrating a ponderomotive guiding center algorithm into a quasi-static particle-in-cell code based on azimuthal mode decomposition
Fei Li, Weiming An, Frank S. Tsung +2
High-fidelity modeling of plasma-based acceleration (PBA) requires the use of 3D fully nonlinear and kinetic descriptions based on the particle-in-cell (PIC) method. Three-dimensio…
Fast inverse transform sampling of non-Gaussian distribution functions in space plasmas
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
Non-Gaussian distributions are commonly observed in collisionless space plasmas. Generating samples from non-Gaussian distributions is critical for the initialization of particle-i…
