A particle computer simulation code is presented, designed to describe the longitudinal motion of charged particles in a nonneutralized beam. The code is 1-d, electrostatic, and is capable of simulating coasting or bunched beams, cold or warm, with arbitrary wall impedance. External focusing forces are introduced in the bunched beam case. A variety of distribution functions can be represented. The code is self-consistent and it can follow both the linear and nonlinear evolution of a beam.
