Ion trajectory calculations have confirmed that space charge interactions can be a source for mass discrimination seen in Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) spectra. As compared with the previously recognized mechanism of z-axis excitation, ion-ion repulsion is a mechanism which spec

Plasmas are a source of unbound electrons for charge neutralizing intense heavy ion beams to allow them to focus to a small spot size and compress their axial pulse length. The plasma source should be able to operate at low neutral pressures and without strong externally applied electric or magnetic
One key issue in heavy ion beam fusion (HIBF) is how to effectively focus high-current and high-perveance ion beams onto a small target area. Space charge neutralization is needed to prevent defocusing as the ion density compresses during focusing. The present study is concerned with the physics of
