Simulation of Smith-Purcell radiation using a particle-in-cell code

A simulation of the generation of Smith-Purcell (SP) radiation at microwave frequencies is performed using the two-dimensional particle-in-cell code MAGIC. The simulation supposes that a continuous, thin (but infinitely wide), monoenergetic electron beam passes over a diffraction grating, while a st...
