Artificially structured boundary plasma trap
Abstract
A computer simulation is presented of single-species non-neutral plasma confinement using an artificially structured boundary. The artificially structured boundary produces a spatially periodic static electromagnetic field along the plasma periphery such that the spatial period of the applied field is much smaller than the dimensions of the confined plasma. The simulated non-neutral plasma self-consistently produces an electrostatic potential energy well for oppositely signed charged particles. The results support the prospect of developing plasma space-charge based confinement, with an unmagnetized plasma of one species of charged particles confined by an electric field produced by an edge-confined plasma of a second species of charged particles. The Warp particle-in-cell code is used for the simulations.
