Taming Laser Plasma Interactions: PIConGPU

Bussmann, M.; Burau, H.; Widera, R.; Hübl, A.; Debus, A.; Kluge, T.; Schramm, U.; Cowan, T. E.; Schmitt, F.; Dietrich, R.; Juckeland, G.; Nagel, W.; D’Humières, E.

We present PIConGPU, an implementation of a three-dimensional fully relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) code for GPU clusters. PIConGPU can simulate laser matter interaction at relativistic laser intensities, for example to investigate laser particle acceleration schemes.
