Electromagnetic drift-kinetic particle-in-cell model with energy and charge conservation for studying finite-$\beta$ plasmas

The paper proposes a generalization of the fully implicit energy- and charge-conserving electromagnetic particle-in-cell method to the case where the lightest type of plasma particle (electrons) is described in the drift-kinetic approximation. This allows us to remove the very strict time step limitation of this method...
