Intense ion beam transport in neutral gas
Description
Intense ion beam transport in neutral gas is used in several light ion fusion (LIF) transport schemes, in some heavy ion fusion (HIF) transport schemes, and between accelerating gaps in some multi-gap linear accelerator schemes. Here, the macroscopic properties of charge neutralization and current neutralization are examined. Then the microscopic properties of gas breakdown are examined, including ion impact ionization, secondary electron impact ionization, electron avalanching, and ohmic heating. These results are combined to give a physical picture of gas breakdown, including growth of the plasma electrical conductivity
