eduPIC: an introductory particle based code for radio-frequency plasma simulation

For the self-consistent description of various plasma sources operated in low-pressure (nonlocal, kinetic) regime, Particle-In-Cell simulation approach, combined with Monte Carlo treatment collision processes (PIC/MCC), has become an important tool during past decades. PIC/MCC codes have been developed and maintained by many research groups, some these are available to community as freeware resources. While this computational approach already present for a number decades, rapid evolution computing infrastructure makes it increasingly more popular accessible, simulations simple systems can be executed now on personal computers or laptops. During few years we experienced increasing interest lectures courses dealing basics particle simulations, including technique. In response this, paper (i) provides tutorial physical basis algorithms technique (ii) presents basic (spatially one-dimensional) electrostatic code Capacitively Coupled Plasmas, whose source is made freely programming languages. We share C/C++ versions, well version written Rust, which rapidly emerging language. Our intends "starting tool" those who interested learning details would like develop "skeleton" further, their purposes.
