An arbitrary order time-stepping algorithm for tracking particles in inhomogeneous magnetic fields
The Lorentz equations describe the motion of electrically charged particles in electric and magnetic fields and are used widely in plasma physics. The most popular numerical algorithm for solving them is the Boris method, a variant of the Störmer-Verlet algorithm. Boris method is phase space volume...
