Researchers have used PBGUNS to simulate a wide variety of problems for many years. The most recent PBGUNS packages have also been featured as part of the "Ion Sources and Low-Energy Ion Beams" course taught by Baoxi Han and Martin Stockli of Oak Ridge National Laboratory at the U.S. Particle Accelerator School in 2011, 2013, and 2014.

The following is an abbreviated list of some of our technical publications in which PBGUNS was utilized.
