Title: Neutralization of ion beam by electron injection: Excitation and propagation of electrostatic solitary waves

Abstract

The charge neutralization of an ion beam by electron injection is investigated using a two-dimensional electrostatic particle-in-cell code. The simulation results show that electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) can be robustly generated in the neutralization process and last for a long time (for more than 30 μs) and therefore, ESWs can strongly affect the neutralization process. The ESWs propagate along the axis of the ion beam and reflect from the beam boundaries. The simulations clearly show that two ESWs can pass through each other with only small changes in amplitude. Partial exchange of trapped electrons in collisions of two ESWs is observed in the simulations and can explain interaction during collisions of two ESWs. Coalescence of two ESWs is also observed.

Electrostatic solitary waves in ion beam neutralization

Journal Article Lan, C. ; Kaganovich, I. D. - Physics of Plasmas

The excitation and propagation of electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) are observed in two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of ion beam neutralization by electron injection by a filament. Electrons from the filament are attracted by positive ions and bounce inside the ion beam pulse. Bouncing back and forth electron streams start to mix, creating two-stream instability. The instability saturates with the formation of ESWs. These ESWs reach several centimeters in longitudinal size and are stable for a long time (>>τ_b, the duration of the ion beam pulse). The excitation of large-amplitude ESWs reduces the degree of neutralization of the ion beam pulse. Inmore »« less

Excitation of long electrostatic solitary waves in ion beam neutralization process

Journal Article Nuwal, Nakul ; Kaganovich, Igor D. ; Levin, Deborah A. - Physics of Plasmas

Unusually long electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) are discovered in a particle-in-cell simulation study of the process of ion beam neutralization by electron emission from a filament. These ESWs are long because the density perturbation responses to the potential wells created by the ESWs are very small. Notably, the density perturbation is small because the trapped (positive) and untrapped (negative) electron density perturbations nearly compensate each other because of a non-Maxwellian electron velocity distribution in the beam.

Kinetic modeling of solitary wave dynamics in a neutralizing ion beam

Journal Article Nuwal, Nakul ; Levin, Deborah A. ; Kaganovich, Igor D. - Physics of Plasmas

In this work, we characterize the formation and evolution of electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) in the space-charge neutralization of ion beams using particle-in-cell simulations. These waves become excited when the electrons emitted from an external filament source initiate a two-stream instability in the beam. We show that such electrostatic waves become excited in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) beams with different shapes and sizes. Through a 1D Bernstein–Greene–Kruskal (BGK) analysis of the 2D beam, we find that the non-Maxwellian nature of the beam electrons gives rise to large-sized ESWs that are not predicted by BGK theory since it assumesmore »« less

Excitation of surface waves in 3D ion beam neutralization

Journal Article Nuwal, Nakul ; Levin, Deborah A. ; Kaganovich, Igor D. - Physics of Plasmas

Neutralization of beams with 2D and 3D geometries by the electrons emitted from an external source is studied using particle-in-cell simulations. Our work reveals that the high-energy electrons excite Trivelpiece–Gould (TG) surface waves in the beams with 3D axisymmetric geometries. These high-energy electrons are generated because of a large amplitude electrostatic solitary wave (ESW) that forms near the electron source and has an electric potential amplitude more than three times the electron thermal energy. We also find that surface wave excitation only happens when the beam radius is large enough at the ion source to attract enough electrons that couldmore »« less

A study of solitary wave trains generated by injection of a blob into plasmas

Journal Article Choi, C -R ; Choi, E -J ; Min, K -W ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We have investigated the evolution of consecutive electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) generated upon injection of a finite-sized blob into plasmas using one-dimensional electrostatic particle-in-cell simulations. Strong charge separation developed at the leading edge of the blob, producing a huge electrostatic potential in which electrons were trapped and heated. Ions were reflected from the boundaries of the blob, forming fast, cold ion beams in the forward and backward directions. The forward ion beams interacted with the hot electrons, which were escaping from the potential developed at the leading edge of the blob, to produce successive ESWs. On the other hand, themore »« less
