A two-dimensional particle-in-cell numerical model is developed to simulate collective relaxation of powerful electron beams in plasmas. To increase the efficiency of parallel particle-in-cell simulations on supercomputers, the Dichotomy Algorithm is used for inversion of the Laplace operator. The proposed model is tested with several well-known physical phenomena and is shown to adequately simulate basic effects of the beam driven turbulence. Also, the modulational instability is studied in the regime when the energy of pumping wave significantly exceeds the thermal plasma energy

Fully electromagnetic, relativistic, two-dimensional, particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of barrel-type and extractor-type Applied-B ion diodes have increased our confidence in the design of present and future diodes for the Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II (PBFA II). In addition, the data from various experiments on Pro to I, Proto II, and PBFA I Applied-B ion diodes are inconsistent with previous models of diode operation, based on anode-cathode gap closure from expanding plasmas. A new model has been devised and applied to the PBFA II diode to explain the diode impedance and its time history, and to suggest methods for controlling the impedance.
