The ARGUS code is a three-dimensional code system for simulating the interactions between charged particles, electric and magnetic fields, and complex structures. It is a system of modules that share common utilities for grid and structure input, data handling, memory management, diagnostics, and other specialized functions. The code includes the fields due to the space charge and current density of the particles to achieve a self-consistent treatment of the particle dynamics.The physics modules in ARGUS include three-dimensional field solvers for electrostatics and electromagnetics, a three-dimensional electromagnetic frequency-domain module, a full particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation module, and a steady-state PIC model. This project has a primary mission of developing the capabilities of ARGUS in accelerator modeling for release to the accelerator design community. This year has seen the development of a new frequency domain module for ARGUS, a new chemistry module, and a first version of an interactive user interface. In addition, improvements to treat lossy materials in the frequency domain and to use cylindrical coordinates with all modules are in progress, and will be released in an ARGUS upgrade planned for release in July, 1993. SAIC has also developed a workstation version of ARGUS that will be made available to beta- testers, starting with the release of ARGUS v.25. The LAACG has become a full partner with SAIC, and is now poised to work with SAIC to support the upcoming release of ARGUS version 25. This coming year will include one or more release workshops to introduce ARGUS v.25 to prospective users.
