Description
Modelling the complex dynamics in plasma accelerators requires computationally demanding Particle-In-Cell codes. These codes self-consistently solve the electromagnetic particle interaction inside the plasma. We present the latest features of FBPIC - a highly efficient, multi-GPU Particle-In-Cell code. It features a quasi-3D geometry that greatly reduces the computational costs, a spectral electromagnetic solver that eliminates numerical instabilities common to traditional field solvers and the Lorentz-boosted frame technique that allows to scale down the required simulation time by orders of magnitude.
