Abstract
In this paper we present a novel interpolation technique for Vlasov simulations of intense space charge dominated beams. This new technique enables to localize the cubic spline interpolation generally performed in semi-Lagrangian Vlasov codes and thus to improve the scalability of the parallel version. This new method is applied to the propagation of a potassium beam in a periodic focusing channel.
