Three-dimensional simulations of ion dynamics in the plasma of an electron cyclotron resonance ion source
The ion production in an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) is modeled using a particle-in-cell Monte-Carlo-collision code in a three-dimensional geometry. Only the heavy particles (ions and atoms) are tracked, while the electrons are represented using a Maxwell-Boltzmann energy distrib...
