A finite difference 3-D Poisson-Vlasov algorithm for ions extracted from a plasma

A Poisson-Vlasov algorithm has been constructed that solves three-dimensional (3-D) sheath problems. It can be used for accelerator design for intense ion beams extracted from a plasma. It has an advantage over an existing finite element algorithm in that it is much more accurate per unit time spent...

Description
Summary:A Poisson-Vlasov algorithm has been constructed that solves three-dimensional (3-D) sheath problems. It can be used for accelerator design for intense ion beams extracted from a plasma. It has an advantage over an existing finite element algorithm in that it is much more accurate per unit time spent.
