Description
The electromagnetic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code WarpX has been developed within the the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project toward the modeling of plasma accelerators for future high-energy physics colliders on Exascale Supercomputers. The code can be used for start-to-end modeling of plasma-based colliders, from beams’ creation to their acceleration in chains of stages to beam-beam interaction at the interaction point (with inclusion of QED effects). The code can also be coupled with other codes and integrated in an ecosystem for fast multi-resolution convergence, cross-benchmarking and design optimization. We will present the latest in the modeling of collider-relevant plasma-based sources, acceleration sections and interaction points with WarpX. Future plans will also be presented and discussed.
Supported by the Exascale Computing Project (17-SC-20-SC), a collaborative effort of two U.S. Department of Energy organizations (Office of Science and the National Nuclear Security Administration), by the CAMPA collaboration, a project of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research and Office of High Energy Physics, Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program and by an LBNL LDRD supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, under contract numbers DE-AC02-05CH11231.
