Model of charge-state distributions for electron cyclotron resonance ion source plasmas

A computer model for the ion charge-state distribution (CSD) in an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) plasma is presented that incorporates non-Maxwellian distribution functions, multiple atomic species, and ion confinement due to the ambipolar potential well that arises from confinemen...
