The transport of intense ion beams with reduced beam divergence over reasonable drift distances requires a reliable space charge compensation (SCC). Negative ion beams (required in the Neutral Beam Injectors envisioned for the ITER tokamak) are here discussed. Secondary particles are ... Read More
Inductively coupled plasmas (ICP) are largely used as a convenient way to produce large ion currents in industrial applications and for particle accelerators and for the Neutral Beam Injectors (NBI) envisioned for tokamak heating (ITER project and beyond). Among specifications we have ... Read More
High power Lower-Hybrid RF waves injected at in a Tokamak plasma can strongly modify the edge plasma. This is caused by ponderomotive forces pushing charged particles in an inhomogeneous oscillating electromagnetic field towards weaker field areas. On the Alcator C-Mod Tokamak, edge ... Read More
The discharge properties in low pressure inductively coupled Ar/CH4 plasmas operating at an RF frequency of 13.56 MHz and total gas pressure of 20 mTorr are studied in this work. The calculation of gas flow is performed in coupling with the plasma simulation. The gas flow rate is varied ... Read More
A study of an atmospheric pressure direct current microplasma discharge in He/N2 is performed using COMSOL Multiphysics. The calculation of heat transfer is fully coupled with the plasma simulation so as to resolve the gas heating in discharges. A simple circuit model is used to decide ... Read More
A coupled helicon/IEC plasma jet is in development for space propulsion applications. This device decouples the ionization and plasma acceleration process into separate stages. A realistic model is to consider a plasma media where the relative permittivity is negative or imaginary. ... Read More
With this presentation, some content has been discussed from several parts as follows: 1. Plasma switches are introduced by their derivation and types, and the operating mechanism of Hydrogen cross field plasma switch is indicated then. 2. The related theories of Hydrogen plasma to ... Read More
The computer simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics has become a widely used technique for the study of various problems in the field of plasma physics. Despite the increasing performance of computers, fully three-dimensional particle simulations still have got extremely high demands on ... Read More
The axial injection torch (AIT) produces high-density plasmas by coupling microwave power to a flowing gas. The plasma is imposed by defining its electron density and temperature whose maximum are given by optical emission spectroscopy diagnostics. Our study of an AIT with COMSOL ... Read More
Neutral Beam Injectors for ITER require development of negative ion sources and beams with carefully reduced beam divergence. In the accelerator this is compensated by the focusing due to the fringe effect of the electric field, while in the drift region, where the beam is propagating ... Read More
