Abstract
Particle methods are now commonly used in the numerical simulation of problems arising in Plasma Physics. They consist in replacing the plasma by a “large” set of charged superparticles which obey the usual Physics laws and then in computing the interactions of these superparticles. For a detailed description of the particle methodology in Plasma Physics, we refer to Hockney and Eastvood [11].Keywords
