Relativistic collision model with application to plasma wakefield accelerators

A relativistic collision model for particle simulation is  
developed for many applications such as wake field accelerators 
and high power microwave tubes. For the verification of this 
collision model, we simulate an electron beam-driven plasma
wakefield accelerator, and compare the simulation results to experiments
in [1].
