The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method has been developed by Oscar Buneman,
Charles Birdsall, Roger W. Hockney, and John Dawson in the 1950s and, with the
advances of computing power, has been further developed for several fields such
as astrophysical, magnetospheric as well as solar plasmas and recently also for
atmospheric and laser physics. Currently more than 15 semi-public PIC codes are
available. Its applications have grown extensively with increasing computing
power available on high performance computing facilities around the world.
These systems allow the study of various topics of astrophysical plasmas, such
as magnetic reconnection, pulsars and black hole.
