Determining femtosecond plasma dynamics via radiation spectra A simulation approach with PIConGPU

A vital step from simulating complex plasma dynamics and comparing it with experimental measurements or astrophysical observations is predicting observables as e.g. the emitted radiation. This poster focuses on how we compute spectrally and spatially resolved radiation based on Liénard Wiechert potentials in the 3D3V particle-in-cell code PIConGPU. Applications in laser plasma acceleration and astrophysics are given to demonstrate the wide applicability of our synthetic diagnostic method.
