Worked Examples
Benchmark problems from the PHY653 lectures, fully worked and linked to the concepts they exercise.
| Example | Exercises | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-field cycloid benchmark | all four integrators vs an exact solution | Easy |
| Rutherford scattering | non-uniform fields, simulation validation | Medium |
| Magnetic mirror orbit | trapping, adiabatic invariants | Hard |
| Double-slit FDTD | wave equation on a masked grid | Medium |
| Two-stream PIC run | the full PIC pipeline | Hard |
