In this work, we focus on the development of high-order Implicit-Explicit (IMEX) finite volume numerical methods for plasmas in quasineutral regimes. At large temporal and spatial scales, plasmas tend to be quasineutral, meaning that the…

The Vlasov-Poisson system with massless electrons (VPME) is widely used in plasma physics to model the evolution of ions in a plasma. It differs from the Vlasov-Poisson system (VP) for electrons in that the Poisson coupling has an…
