Erratum: Electron distribution function in a plasma generated by fission fragments

Electron Energy Distribution Function in a Hall Discharge Plasma

The role of inelastic collisions in Hall thruster operation is studied through simulation of the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) inside the thruster channel. The electron Boltzmann equation is solved using the Lorentz approximation (two-term expansion) and the "local-field" approximation. The resultant zero-dimensional Boltzmann equation takes into account inelastic losses due to i...

Angular Distribution of Fragments from Fission Induced by Heavy Ions in Gold and Bismuth

We present the results of measurements of the angular distribution lg7 and Bi of fission fragments produced by irradiation of Au 209 with 11 various heavy ions. The projectiles, B , G'l2, N14, and 016, had energies from a few MeV above the Coulomb barrier to 10.4 MeV per nucleon. The gross features of these results can be explained by use of a model and parameters that have been used by others ...

Electron Beam Generated Solitary Structures in a Nonuniform Plasma System

Recent observations by the FAST satellite have identified numerous occurrences in the downward auroral current region of fast solitary structures with a characteristic size of a few local Debye lengths. We utilize a 2.5D electrostatic particle-in-cell code to investigate the generation of such structures by the interaction of narrow energetic electron beams with a gravitationally-bound exponent...
