Abstract :
Summary form only given. The SPICES1 (smart particle in cell electrostatic 1D) code is described and tested. SPICES1 is based on a multispecies Boltzmann-Poisson description of the plasma in 1D plane geometry with periodic or open boundary conditions. A linear collision operator is included to describe Fokker-Planck interactions. The code uses an optimized implementation of the blob technique for particle simulation.
