Magic Tool Suite

The MAGIC Tool Suite includes MAGIC2D, a two- and one-half dimensional code (2D fields and 3D particle kinematics), MAGIC3D, a fully three-dimensional counterpart to MAGIC2D, and POSTER, a general-purpose post-processor.

The MAGIC codes are electromagnetic particle-in-cell codes, i.e., finite-difference, time-domain codes for simulating plasma physics processes, i.e., those processes that involve interactions between space charge and electromagnetic fields.
