Abstract
A two-dimensional PIC code aimed at the investigation of electron-cycl otron beam instabilities in gyrotrons and their effects on the beam qu ality is presented, The code is based on recently developed techniques for handling charge conservation and open boundaries and uses an elec tromagnetic field which is decomposed in its transverse magnetic (TM) and electric (TE) components, The code has been implemented on the mas sively parallel computer CRAY T3D, but can also be run on a single pro cessor of the CRAY Y-MP.
