Stable creation of a single plasma channel and collimated fast electrons using large-scale PIC simulations with new dynamic load-balancing technique

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We developed a PIC code using new load balancing technique, in which the lower load processes help the higher load processes. A test calculation indicates more than 10 times faster than that without load balancing. Large scale 3-d calculations indicate the formation of central current whose density is close to critical density, supported by the magnetic field inside the channel.
