Magnetized particle transport in multi-MA accelerators

Kinetic simulations of Sandia National Laboratories’ Z machine are conducted to understand particle transport in the highly magnetized environment of a multi-MA accelerator. Joule heating leads to the rapid formation of electrode surface plasmas. These plasmas are implicated in reducing accelerator...
