Simulation study of applied-B ion diodes with plasma prefill

  • 1. Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (USA)

Description

The prefilling of an ion diode with plasma can establish an electron distribution in the diode that allows ion flow well above the Child-Langmuir limit in a very short time compared to the pulse length. This idea has previously been proposed and studied both experimentally and theoretically. In the present study, primarily using the relativistic, electromagnetic, 2.5-D PIC code MAGIC, the process is examined in detail with a realistic diode configuration to help quantitatively define plasma-filled ion diode experiments
