Reduction of Polarization Field Influence on the Compensated Ion Beam Dynamics in the Induction Ion Accelerator by Using a Collector of Electrons Isolated by the Cusp Magnetic Field
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The possibility to decrease the polarization field arising between accelerated ions and compensating electrons in a plasma flow injected into a magnetic cusp with an accelerating gap is shown by a 2.5D numerical simulation. Such effect is caused by implementation a collector of electrons deflected by the cusp’s magnetic field. An increase in the threshold plasma flow density by using a collector that removes electrons from the process providing polarization field decrease is demonstrated. Thus, a collector is ensuring injection of the resulting high-current ion beam into the accelerating gap without deflection.
