One-to-one direct modeling of experiments and astrophysical scenarios: pushing the envelope on kinetic plasma simulations
There are many astrophysical and laboratory scenarios where kinetic effects play an important role. These range from astrophysical shocks and plasma shell collisions to high intensity laser–plasma interactions, with applications to fast ignition and particle acceleration. Further understanding of these scenarios requires detailed numerical modeling, but fully relativistic kinetic codes …
