In intense charged-particle beams, the presence of Coulomb collisions can result in growth of the beam slice energy spread and emittance that cannot be captured correctly using traditional particle-in-cell codes. Particle-particle, particle-mesh solvers take a hybrid approach, combining features of N-body and particle-in-cell solvers, to correctly capture the effect of short-range particle interactions with less computing time than direct N-body solvers. We describe the implementation and benchmarking of such a solver in the code IMPACT-T for beam dynamics applications.
