Collisionless energy absorption in the short-pulse intense laser-cluster interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In a previous Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 123401 (2006)] we have shown by means of three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations and a simple rigid-sphere model that nonlinear resonance absorption is the dominant collisionless absorption mechanism in ...

A polynomial particle-in-cell method [PDF]

open access: yesACM Transactions on Graphics, 2017
Recently the Affine Particle-In-Cell (APIC) Method was proposed by Jiang et al.[2015; 2017b] to improve the accuracy of the transfers in Particle-In-Cell (PIC) [Harlow 1964] techniques by augmenting each particle with a locally affine, rather than locally constant description of the velocity.

Particle Simulation Model for Self-Field Magnetoplasmadynamic Thruster

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
In order to clarify the discharge principle of the self-field magnetoplasmadynamic thruster (MPDT), a two-dimensional axisymmetric particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) model is proposed.

Influence of a power supply model on simulated Hall thruster discharge voltage oscillations

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2019
Hall thrusters are spacecraft propulsion devices that generate and accelerate plasma to provide thrust. Despite the use of constant voltage supplies to power these devices, complex finite-rate and convective effects lead to significant discharge current ...

Pitfalls in Modeling Walls and Neutrals Physics in Gas Discharges Using Parallel Particle-in-Cell Monte Carlo Collision Algorithms

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2018
Owing to their ability to model the physics of low-pressure plasmas away from thermodynamical equilibrium, particle-in-cell (PIC) techniques have become one of the tools of choice to simulate the operation of many plasma devices. This trend is reinforced

Analytic Model Of Electron Self-Injection In A Plasma Wakefield Accelerator In The Strongly Nonlinear Bubble Regime [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Self-injection of background electrons in plasma wakefield accelerators in the highly nonlinear bubble regime is analyzed using particle-in-cell and semi-analytic modeling.

Optimal laser focusing for positron production in laser–electron scattering

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2021
Laser–electron beam collisions that aim to generate electron–positron pairs require laser intensities I ≳ 10 ^21 W cm ^−2 , which can be obtained by focusing a 1-PW optical laser to a spot smaller than 10 μ m.
