Abstract
The techniques of the numerical simulation of plasmas can be readily applied to problems in accelerator physics. Because the problems usually involve a single component “plasma,” and times that are at most, a few plasma oscillation periods, it is frequently possible to make very good simulations with relatively modest computation resources.

PARMELA is found in various forms in may laboratories, and is mostly undocumented. Its roots go back to the program PARMILA, which was a MURA program written for proton linacs. Most of the recent development of PARMELA (the “e” in the name is for electrons) was made in the AT Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory.
