EPOCH

Our state of the art Particle-in-Cell (PIC) code which is used to model a wide variety of plasma scenarios from microwave heating of tokamak plasmas to quantum electrodynamics processes in ultra-high intensity laser-matter interactions. EPOCH is an open source modelling tool which is easily extendible and is therefore widely used in the UK plasma community and beyond.
