Abstract

Time-centering algorithms to increment the temporal accuracy of the state of macroparticles in the hybrid code HPHall-2 are presented. As a result, one orderof-magnitude increment in temporal precision is achieved. Errors in the conservation of mass flow along the chamber are reduced by one order-of-magnitude too. In a second part, the algorithm controlling the population of particles per cell is improved with the aim of reducing both the statistical oscillations and the computational cost.
