Abstract
A relativistic binary collision model is implemented in the particle-in-cell simulation code PICLS. Its applicability ranges from the non-relativistic to the ultra-relativistic regime.
Using this model we have simulated a recent experiment on cone-guided fast-ignition experiment [Kodama et al., Nature 418, 933 (2002)] and found that there are three important heating process by fast electrons, fast ions and heat conduction from the cone.
