Symplectic tracking is important in accelerator beam dynamics simulation. So far, to the best
of our knowledge, there is no self-consistent symplectic space-charge tracking model …

The effects of noise in particle-in-cell (PIC) and Vlasov simulations of the Buneman
instability in unmagnetized plasmas are studied. It is found that, in the regime of low drift …

The use of transversely split beams was proposed some years ago as a means to perform
extraction from a circular particle accelerator over multiple turns. In the course of studies …

We investigate the dynamics of plasma-based acceleration processes with collisionless
particle dynamics and non negligible thermal effects. We aim at assessing the applicability …

Abstract In the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) design, to avoid vertical orbit bumps in the
Electron Storage Ring (ESR) at some crossing points with Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) to …

The role and mitigation of space charge effects are important aspects of the beam physics
research to be performed at the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) at Fermilab. The …

In the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) design, a flat beam collision scheme is adopted to achieve
1034 cm-2s-1 luminosity. We found that the vertical growth of the proton beam is much …

In the past years, several studies, numerical and experimental, have been carried out for
enlightening the effect of space charge and resonances on particle beams stored in …

Particle in cell techniques are ubiquitous in plasma physics simulations, such as Hall
thruster models. Particle merg-ing or downsampling is crucial in order to maintain …

The long-term macroparticle tracking simulation is computationally challenging but needed
in order to study space-charge effects in high intensity circular accelerators. To address the …
