  • Abstract
    In this paper, a numerical approach is developed to integrate the Boltzmann equation in two and three spacial dimensions. The resulting computer code is used to reproduce the HDL electron beam experiment. This approach should provide an alternative to cloud-in-cell particle tracking methods for problems where a coarse representation of the velocity space distribution function is acceptable.
