The ARCTIC Charged Particle Beam Propagation Code

The ARCTIC code has been developed to calculate the inductive erosion of, and plasma wakefield generation by, an ultrarelativistic electron beam propagating in a straight ionized channel through a background plasma. The implicit algorithm used is described in detail, and the code is verified by comp...

Description
Summary:The ARCTIC code has been developed to calculate the inductive erosion of, and plasma wakefield generation by, an ultrarelativistic electron beam propagating in a straight ionized channel through a background plasma. The implicit algorithm used is described in detail, and the code is verified by comparing results with a more complete full particle-in-cell plasma simulation code.
