Monte Carlo implementation of a guiding-center Fokker-Planck kinetic equation
Eero Hirvijoki, Alain Brizard, Antti Snicker +1
A Monte Carlo method for the collisional guiding-center Fokker-Planck kinetic equation is derived to include the effects of background magnetic-field nonuniformity. It is shown tha…
