Highly efficient Plasma Accelerator Emulation, quasistatic particle-in-cell code

HiPACE++

HiPACE++ is an open-source portable GPU-capable quasistatic particle-in-cell code for wakefield acceleration written in C++. It is a full re-writing of the legacy code HiPACE, the Highly efficient Plasma ACcelerator Emulator. Its main features are:

• Multiple beams and multiple plasma species to simulation beam-driven wakefield acceleration
• Field ionization of the plasma using the ADK model
• Two field solver methods, the original HiPACE predictor-corrector loop and an explicit solver
• Diagnostics compliant with the openPMD standard
• Read an arbitrary particle beam from file
• more coming soon...

HiPACE++ is built on the AMReX library, which provides for particle and field data structures.
