✦ Synopsis

The field solution is exponentially decaying outward from the neutralization radius, defined as the radius within

The ARCTIC code has been developed to calculate the inductive erosion of, and plasma wakefield generation by, an ultrarelativistic which plasma electrons have been expelled to leave a net electron beam propagating in a straight ionized channel through a zero interior charge. In order to impose the conducting background plasma. The implicit algorithm used is described in wall boundary condition, the calculation integrates the field detail, and the code is verified by comparing results with a more equations inward from the wall. If this integration has to complete full particle-in-cell plasma simulation code. ᮊ 1996 Acatraverse only a few e-folding skin depths, which are indemic Press, Inc.

versely proportional to the square root of the plasma density, the procedure can be an explicit one, using the Runga-
