Motivated by the high accuracy requirements and the huge ratio of the largest to smallest time scales of Coulomb collision simulations of a considerable number of charges, we developed a novel numerical integration scheme, which uses algorithmic differentiation to produce variable, high-order integrators with dense output. We show that Picard iterations are not only a nice theoretical tool, but can...
