Time simulation of the nonlinear wave-particle interaction in meters long traveling-wave tubes

Damien F. G. Minenna, Khalil Aliane, Yves Elskens +4

We propose a multi-particle self-consistent Hamiltonian (derived from an N-body description) that is applicable for periodic structures such as traveling-wave tubes (TWTs), gyrotro…

Sticky islands in stochastic webs and anomalous chaotic cross-field particle transport by ExB electron drift instability

D. Mandal, Y. Elskens, X. Leoncini +2

The ExB electron drift instability, present in many plasma devices, is an important agent in cross-field particle transport. In presence of a resulting low frequency electrostatic…

Wave-particle interactions in a long traveling wave tube with upgraded helix

M. C. de Sousa, F. Doveil, Y. Elskens +1

We investigate the interaction of electromagnetic waves and electron beams in a 4 meters long traveling wave tube (TWT). The device is specially designed to simulate beam-plasma ex…

Cross-field chaotic transport of electrons by ExB electron drift instability in Hall thruster

D. Mandal, Y. Elskens, N. Lemoine +1

A model calculation is presented to characterize the anomalous cross-field transport of electrons in a Hall thruster geometry. The anomalous nature of the transport is attributed t…

DIMOHA: A Time-Domain Algorithm for Traveling-Wave Tube Simulations

Damien Minenna, Yves Elskens, Frédéric André +3

To simulate traveling-wave tubes (TWTs) in time domain and more generally the wave-particle interaction in vacuum devices, we developed the DIscrete MOdel with HAmiltonian approach…

Cross-field chaotic transport of electrons by electron drift instability in Hall thrusters

Debraj Mandal, Yves Elskens, Nicolas Lemoine +1

One special interest for the industrial development of Hall thruster is characterizing the anomalous cross-field electron transport observed after the channel exit. Since the ioniz…
