HiPACE++

HiPACE++ is an open-source portable GPU-capable quasi-static 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 beam and plasma species to simulation beam-driven wakefield acceleration
• A laser envelope solver to simulate laser-driven wakefield acceleration
• An advanced explicit field solver for increased accuracy
• Diagnostics compliant with the openPMD standard
• Arbitrary profiles for the beams and plasma profiles
• Readers from files for the beam and laser profiles
• Adaptive time step and sub-cycling
• Additional physics (field ionization, binary collisions, temperature effects, radiation reactions)

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