Description
PIC simulations are numerical techniques for studying plasma phenomena which do not yield to an analytical solution. These techniques will ultimately used to study chorus emissions which are whistler mode waves propagating through the Earth’s magnetosphere. The two-stream instability is presented as an initial part of the study.
