Validation and benchmarking of two particle-in-cell codes for a glow discharge
Johan Carlsson, Alexander Khrabrov, Igor Kaganovich +2
The two particle-in-cell codes EDIPIC and LSP are benchmarked and validated for a parallel-plate glow discharge in helium, in which the axial electric field had been carefully meas…
Amplification due to Two-Stream Instability of Self-Electric and Magnetic Fields of an Ion Beam Propagating in Background Plasma
Erinc K. Tokluoglu, Igor D. Kaganovich, Johan A. Carlsson +2
Propagation of charged particle beams in background plasma as a method of space charge neutralization has been shown to achieve a high degree of charge and current neutralization a…
Excitation of a global plasma mode by an intense electron beam in a dc discharge
D. Sydorenko, I. D. Kaganovich, P. L. G. Ventzek +1
Interaction of an intense electron beam with a finite-length, inhomogeneous plasma is investigated numerically. The plasma density profile is maximal in the middle and decays towar…
Particle-in-cell simulations of anomalous transport in a Penning discharge
Johan Carlsson, Igor Kaganovich, Andrew Powis +3
Electrostatic particle-in-cell simulations of a Penning discharge are performed in order to investigate azimuthally asymmetric, spoke-like structures previously observed in experim…
Optimizing Beam Transport in Rapidly Compressing Beams on the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment - II
Anton D. Stepanov, Erik P. Gilson, Igor D. Kaganovich +7
The Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment-II (NDCX-II) is an induction linac that generates intense pulses of 1.2 MeV helium ions for heating matter to extreme conditions. Here,…
Modeling of reduced secondary electron emission yield from a foam or fuzz surface
Charles Swanson, Igor D. Kaganovich
Complex structures on a material surface can significantly reduce the total secondary electron emission yield from that surface. A foam or fuzz is a solid surface above which is pl…
