As a basic requirement to be able to attend the course, the student must have followed the lectures on computational plasmas that have been given during the Plasma Physics I+II course on the following dates: October 14th 2021, November 8th 2021, November 10th 2021 and December 2nd 2021. The videos are available on the WeBeep page of the Plasma Physics I+II course. Moreover, the students will need to actively work on their own computer with a Linux distribution (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Mint). It is possible to either use a virtual machine, a partition or any other solution one may find. We will make use of python to work with the selected PIC code (Smilei, smileipic.github.io/Smilei/). In addition, the students can work with a programming language of their own choice to write their version of the code (examples will be provided in python).
