Lsp is a 3-D (as well as 2-D and 1-D), parallelized electromagnetic code
for plasma simulation using the particle-in-cell (PIC) method. The code has
a user-friendly graphical interface with 3-D rendering for problem setup, and
a powerful post-processor based on IDL (www.rsinc.com). Current L sp users
are applying the software to:
• High-current electron and ion accelerators
• Intense X-ray sources
• Intense laser-plasma interaction
• Charged particle beam transport in gases and plasmas
• Gas discharges
In addition to standard electromagnetic PIC algorithms, the code has implicit
field and particle algorithms. It also treats fluid equations, Coulomb and
neutral-particle collisions, ionization, surface heating and desorption
and electron transport in materials.
Platforms: Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X, UNIX, Multiprocessors with MPI
