This work describes the Plasma Simulation Code (psc), an explicit, electromagnetic particle-
in-cell code with support for different order particle shape functions. We review the basic …

A large number of model particles are shown necessary for quantitatively correct simulations
of the kinetic beam-plasma instability with the clouds-in-cells method. The required number …

In this paper, our goal is to efficiently solve the Vlasov equation on GPUs. A semi-
Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin scheme is used for the discretization. Such kinetic …

Reliable modeling of laser-plasma accelerators, where a short and intense laser pulse
propagates in an underdense plasma over long distances, is a computationally challenging …

Computational plasma physics is a wide area of research, which includes a certain set of
physical phenomena, mathematical equations, numerical methods, programming strategies …

Abstract The use of Euler–Lagrange methods on unstructured grids extends their application
area to more versatile setups. However, the lack of a regular topology limits the scalability of …

In this paper we analyze the properties of the electron bunches produced in a laser-plasma
acceleration experiment using a 10 mm helium gas-jet with a longitudinal density profile …

We discuss a new compact γ-ray source aiming at high spectral density, up to two orders of
magnitude higher than currently available bremsstrahlung sources, and conceptually similar …

Within the past decade, various experimental and theoretical investigations have been
performed in the field of high-order harmonics generation (HHG) by means of femtosecond …

Despite the recent successes of nuclear energy researchers, the scientific community still
remains some distance from being able to create controlled, self-sustaining fusion reactions …
