PICARD: A novel code for the Galactic Cosmic Ray propagation problem

In this manuscript we present a new approach for the numerical solution of the Galactic Cosmic Ray propagation problem. We introduce a method using advanced contemporary numerical algorithms while retaining the general complexity of other established codes. In this paper we present the underlying nu...

Description
Summary:In this manuscript we present a new approach for the numerical solution of the Galactic Cosmic Ray propagation problem. We introduce a method using advanced contemporary numerical algorithms while retaining the general complexity of other established codes. In this paper we present the underlying numerical scheme in conjunction with tests showing the correctness of the scheme. Finally we show the solution of a first example propagation problem using the new code to show its applicability to Galactic Cosmic Ray propagation.
