MEP: A 3D PIC code for the simulation of the dynamics of a non-neutral plasma
The three-dimensional evolution of a pure electron plasma is studied by means of a newly developed particle-in-cell code which solves the drift-Poisson system where kinetic effects in the motion parallel to the magnetic field are taken into account. Different results relevant to the non-linear dynamics of trapped plasmas and low-energy electron beams are presented.
