Electromagnetic PIC simulations with smooth particles: a numerical study*

In this article we study a charge-conserving finite-element particle scheme for the Maxwell-Vlasov system that is based on a div-conforming representation of the electric field and we propose a high-order deposition algorithm for smooth particles with piecewise polynomi...
