Sputter Yields of the Lunar Surface: Experimental Validation and Numerical Modelling of Solar Wind Sputtering of Apollo 16 Soils

Johannes Brötzner, Herbert Biber, Paul Stefan Szabo +12

Sputtering by solar wind ions is a key process driving the ejection of high-energy particles into the exospheres of airless bodies like asteroids, Mercury and the Moon. In view of…

Towards quantitative Low Energy Ion Scattering on CaSiO from Comparison to Multiple-Scattering-Resolved Dynamical Binary Collision Approximation Simulations

Johannes Brötzner, Matthias Kogler, Paul S. Szabo +6

We perform Low Energy Ion Scattering with He ions ranging in energy from 1 keV to 3 keV on CaSiO using a commercial electrostatic detector system and determine the charge fract…

Self consistent kinetic simulations of SPT and HEMP thrusters including the near-field plume region

K. Matyash, R. Schneider, A. Mutzke +4

The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method was used to study two different ion thruster concepts - Stationary Plasma Thrusters (SPT) and High Efficiency Multistage Plasma Thrusters (HEMP-T)…
