title = "Initial 3D vorpal simulations for RF electron gun modeling",
abstract = "The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) contributes fundamental advances to nuclear physics by colliding a wide range of ions. A novel electron cooling section requires the acceleration of high-charge electron bunches with low emittance and energy spread. A radio frequency (RF) electron gun is a key component of the RHIC-II upgrade that is designed for the emission of such bunches. Accurate, fully electromagnetic modeling of electron beams in RF electron guns with complex geometries is needed. Development of new 3D algorithms and computational capabilities in the VORPAL particle-in-cell code are promising to address this problem. Initial results from 3D VORPAL simulations on a specific RF gun considered for the RHIC-II upgrade will be presented and discussed.",
