Abstract

In this paper we explore the viability of using nodal discontinuous Galerkin methods as implemented in the software library Nudg++ [1] to compute the space charge field of an electron or positron bunch. We will use a benchmark problem to evaluate this method by comparing results from this scheme with solutions obtained analytically.
