Explicit integrators for the magnetized equations of motion in Particle in Cell codes

Explicit integrators for the magnetized equations of motion in Particle in Cell codes

A new explicit time-reversible orbit integrator for the equations of motion in a static homogeneous magnetic field - called Cyclotronic integrator - is presented. Like Spreiter and Walter's Taylor expansion algorithm, for sufficiently weak electric field gradients this second order method does...
