Physics
- Envelope model has been deeply tested and validated Terzani, Londrillo, CPC, 2019
- Fluid scheme is now robust and also tested
- Hybrid scheme (PIC particles on a fluid background) can be used for LWFA
- Bunch injection for PWFA has been restored (it was broken) and integrated in the main cycle, so it can be implied both as a driver and as a witness in a LWFA scheme
- The transverse stretched grid is fully working for LWFA (still beta for bunch injection)
