Study of the possibility to control ion generation and transport in a high-current vacuum spark
- 1. National Research Nuclear University, Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (Russian Federation)
Description
The possibilities of optimizing a high-current vacuum spark as a source of metal ions are discussed. The influence of the shape and size of the electrodes on both the depth to which the hot plasma region is immersed in the surrounding cold matter and the plasma state in the hot spot, which is the source of multicharged ions, is demonstrated. Methods for optimization of the design of the discharge device for increasing the ion yield from a high-current vacuum spark are considered.
