  ALaDyn (Acceleration by LAser and DYNamics of charged particles) is a relativistic fully parallelized PIC code to investigate the interaction of a laser pulse with a plasma and/or an externally injected beam. The code is based on compact high order finite differences schemes ensuring higher spectral accuracy compared to standard Yee schemes. We present the main features and the performances of the code together with a set of validation tests obtained comparing the results with well-established analytical/numerical results. A preliminary benchmarking with the PIC code VORPAL is also presented. An application to a physically relevant case concerning the externally-injected configuration proposed for the CNR-INFN experiment PLASMONX will be analyzed.
