自持磁约束电子云中离子的运动

On The Motion of Ions in The Self-sustaining Magnetically Confined Electron Cloud

本文研究自持磁约束电子云中由电子-原子电离碰撞产生的离子的运动,并指出这一运动的混沌特性。文中还讨论了通过测量离子电流确定电子云中电位分布的方法。

The motion of ions generated from the electron-atom ionization collisions in the self-sustaining magnetically confined electron cloud is studied. It is shown that the motion is chaotic. The method to determine the electric potential distribution in the electron cloud by measurements of the ion current is discussed.
