Welcome to LCODE’s documentation!

LCODE is a free software for numerical simulation of particle beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. LCODE is based on the quasistatic approximation, is capable of simulating in 2D and 3D geometries, and can use GPUs and CPUs.

For now, this is new and experimental software. This is a complete overhaul of the old C version in Python.

You can also find a more mature 2D version of LCODE at http://lcode.info/.
