abstract = "We report on a new 3D fully relativistic, modular, parallel and scalable Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code currently being developed at the Computational Astrophysics Laboratory in the National University of Ireland, Galway and its initial test applications to the plasma distribution in the vicinity of a rapidly rotating neutron star. We find that Plasma remains confined by trapping surfaces close to the star as opposed to propagating to a significant portion of the light-cylinder distance as predicted in this early work. We discuss planned future modifications and applications of the developed code.",
