Abstract

Particle pushers widely used in Particle-in-Cell(PIC) simulations are commonly required to be unconditionally stable and meet the basic physical laws. In this work, basing on central difference, we propose an unconditionally stable and well posed particle pusher. By mathematical deduction, the high-dimensional non-linear problem for solving tensor-form relativistic Lorentz force law equation is transformed to a quartic scalar problem and a following linear problem. Some practical suggestions for programming and some numerical results are also given.
