Efficiency of a Boris-like integration scheme with spatial stepping

A modified Boris-like integration, in which the spatial coordinate is the independent variable, is derived. This spatial-Boris integration method is useful for beam simulations, in which the independent variable is often the distance along the beam. The new integration method is second order accurat...
