Particle acceleration#
A test charge surfing a prescribed traveling plasma wakefield
(wakefield_e_field()), integrated
with the same energy-conserving Boris pusher used for gyro-orbits
elsewhere in this package
(simulate_wakefield_acceleration())
– the qualitative “surfing” picture of plasma-wakefield acceleration,
without the driver’s own self-consistent field generation.
