Description

In relativistic diodes, ions are emitted from the anode plasma. The effects and properties of these ions are studied via a two-dimensional particle-simulation code. The space charge of these ions enhances the electron emission, and this additional current (including that of the ions themselves) aids in obtaining superpinched electron beams for use in pellet fusion studies
