Intrinsic elimination of the numerical Cherenkov instability in Lorentz-boosted frame simulations of plasma accelerators — •Manuel Kirchen, Irene Dornmair, Sören Jalas, Kevin Peters, and Andreas R.

We present a novel Particle-In-Cell algorithm that is intrinsically free of the numerical Cherenkov instability for relativistic plasmas flowing at a uniform velocity. The new method is independent of the geometry and - unlike previous suppression strategies - we completely avoid artificial modifications of the electromagnetic fields. Application is shown at the example of Lorentz-boosted frame simulations of plasma accelerators, achieving excellent accuracy and high speed-ups using our spectral, quasi-3D GPU code FBPIC.
