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 …

Common time-explicit numerical methods for kinetic simulations of plasmas in the low-
collisions limit fall into two classes of algorithms: momentum conserving (also known as …

An overview is presented of the design of a 10 GeV laser plasma accelerator (LPA) that will
be driven by a PW‐class laser system and of the BELLA Project, which has as its primary …

Modeling of laser-plasma wakefield accelerators in an optimal frame of reference [J.-L. Vay,
Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 130405 (2007)] allows direct and efficient full-scale modeling of deeply …

Knowledge discovery from large and complex scientific data is a challenging task. With the
ability to measure and simulate more processes at increasingly finer spatial and temporal …

Simulation of laser–plasma accelerator (LPA) experiments is computationally intensive due
to the disparate length scales involved. Current experiments extend hundreds of laser …

Computer simulations have had a profound impact on the design and understanding of past
and present plasma acceleration experiments, and will be a key component for turning …

Laser wakefield excitation in the interaction of femtosecond laser pulse with an underdense
thin magnetized plasma slab is studied by one dimensional relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell …

The generation of multimegawatt terahertz pulses based on the superradiance of
picosecond electron bunches moving in a periodic magnetic (undulator) field is shown to be …

The development of new laser systems at the 10 Petawatt range will push laser wakefield
accelerators to novel regimes, for which theoretical scalings predict the possibility to …
