Symplectic particle-in-cell model for space-charge beam dynamics simulation

Space-charge effects play an important role in high intensity particle accelerators and were studied using a variety of macroparticle tracking models. In this paper, we propose a symplectic particle-in-cell (PIC) model and compare this model with a recently published symplectic gridless particle mod...
