A New Covariant Formalism for Kinetic Plasma Simulations in Curved Spacetimes
Low-density plasmas are characterized by a large-scale separation between the gyromotion of particles around local magnetic fields and the macroscopic scales of the system, often making global kinetic simulations computationally intractable. The guiding center formalism has been proposed as a powerf...
