Electromagnetic ''Particle-in-Cell'' Plasma Simulation (open access)

Electromagnetic ''Particle-in-Cell'' Plasma Simulation

''PIC'' simulation tracks particles through electromagnetic fields calculated self-consistently from the charge and current densities of the particles themselves, external sources, and boundaries. Already used extensively in plasma physics, such simulations have become useful in the design of accelerators and their r.f. sources. 5 refs.
