architect (architect a hybrid code for Plasma Wakefield Acceleration) Architect is a time explicit hybrid code design to perform quick simulations for electron driven plasma wakefield acceleration. Architect uses a hybrid approach: relativistic electron bunches are treated kinetically as in a PIC code while the background plasma as a fluid. Architect has been firstly described in Efficient modeling of plasma wakefield acceleration in quasi-non-linear-regimes with the hybrid code Architect, by A. Marocchino, F. Massimo, A. R. Rossi, E. Chiadroni, M. Ferrario --- Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2016.03.005 , and in Electromagnetic self-consistent field initialization and fluid advance techniques for hybrid-kinetic PWFA code Architect by F. Massimo, A. Marocchino, A. R. Rossi --- Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2016.02.043

This newer version, in part rewritten from scratch, is released as an alpha version as is, without any warranty, and will be maintained here on GitHub. A new publication is currently underway to describe progresses on this new code. If you use architect, you're kindly required to cite the reference papers as well as the Zenodo DOI of the latest release.
