Advances in simulation capability: A path towards modeling 10-100 GeV plasma accelerator stages
Abstract
A path towards modeling 10-100 GeV plasma accelerator stages is described. Modeling such stages including the self-consistent evolution of the driver, the plasma dynamics, and the beam loading of the trailing particles necessitates the use of particle methods. In a previous proceedings, I reviewed the status of particle based methods and stated that new methods needed to be developed if one hoped to routinely model the full scale in three-dimensions of 10+ GeV plasma accelerator stages. In this article, I describe the development of a new fully parallelized algorithm that reproduces the results from standard particle-in-cell methods with at least a 100 times savings in CPU time. I also describe how standard methods are being used to discover new physics.
