Description
This work represents a detailed numerical simulation of the ITER-prototype negative ion source. The numerical model is based on Particle-in-Cell / Monte Carlo Collision (PIC-MCC) methodology to study production, transport and extraction of all charged particles (electron, positive and negative ions) in a self-consistent electric field (magnetostatic approximation). The effect of grid biasing and gas isotope (hydrogen/deuterium) have been investigated.
