Description
Summary:ARGUS is a three-dimensional, electromagnetic, particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code that uses a modular code architecture to allow multiple physics modules to share common utilities for grid and structure setup, memory management, disk I/O, differential vector field operators, and diagnostics. The code includes modules for electrostatic and electromagnetic field solutions, electromagnetic eigenvalue problems, and PIC simulation in either a steady-state or a time-dependent algorithm. SAIC and LANL (Accelerator Code Group) are collaborating-to release ARGUS to the U.S. Accelerator community. The code is available, with documentation, both at LANL and at NERSC (LLNL). Applications of ARGUS to waveguide and cavity problems and wake-field calculations are presented.< >
