Title: Initial Assessment of Electron and X-Ray Production and Charge Exchange in the NDCX-II Accelerator

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/983165· OSTI ID:983165

The purpose of this note is to provide initial assessments of some atomic physics effects for the accelerator section of NDCX-II. There are several effects we address: the production of electrons associated with loss of beam ions to the walls, the production of electrons associated with ionization of background gas, the possibly resultant production of X-rays when these electrons hit bounding surfaces, and charge exchange of beam ions on background gas. The results presented here are based on a number of caveats that will be stated below, which we will attempt to remove in the near future.
