Recent development of fully kinetic particle-in-cell method and its application to fusion plasma instability study

This paper reviews the recent advancements of the algorithm and application to fusion plasma instability study of the fully kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method. The strengths and limitations of both explicit and implicit PIC methods are described and compared. Additionally, the semi-implicit PIC m...
