Within this action, we present the 3rd course on laser-plasma processes dedicated to the state-of-the-art numerical methods used for relativistic LPI investigations.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #f7071f;\"><strong>Course program<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LPI processes are said to be in the relativistic regime when the laser pulse intensity times the square of the laser pulse wavelength is greater than approximatively 10<sup>18<\/sup> W\/cm<sup>2&nbsp;<\/sup>x microns<sup>2<\/sup>. Indeed, when such a high-power laser pulse is focused on matter, some electrons can be accelerated up to several times their rest mass energy m<sub>e<\/sub>c<sup>2<\/sup>. These laser-generated relativistic electron beams are useful for several applications such as inertial confinement fusion, laboratory Astrophysics, proton acceleration, nuclear activation, X-ray\/Gamma photons generation, kT magnetic fields generation among others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to their complexity and their non-linear behavior, highly parallelized numerical simulations are necessary to understand LPI processes in this regime. Depending on the current computer technology, kinetic codes, namely Particle-in-Cell (PIC) or Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) codes. However, today&#8217;s computer technology still limits the use of kinetic codes to a timescale lower than approximatively one ps. On longer timescales, fully parallelized hydrodynamic or hybrid kinetic-hydrodynamic plasma codes are rather used. Finally, Monte-Carlo codes also play an important role in plasma diagnostic design and X-ray photon, electron, or ion transport in matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This course intends to give an overview of these two main simulation tools for LPI studies with practical hands-on sessions:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<ol>\n<li>Introduction to kinetic PIC codes (15 hours)<\/li>\n<li>Introduction to Monte-Carlo codes (15 hours)\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #f7071f;\"><strong>Teachers<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prof. Luca Volpe.
