This paper reports on RF sources that have been virtually prototyped with the Improved ConcurrentElectromagnetic Particle-in-Cell (ICEPIC) code. ICEPIC simulates from first principles (Maxwell's equations and Lorenz's force law) the electrodynamics and charged particle dynamics of the RF-producing part of the system. Our simulations focus on two classes of Lband sources: giga-watt, 100ns length pulse sources and 100s of kilo-watt long pulse sources (>100 milliseconds). Such simulations require enormous computational resources.These simulations successfully expose undesirable features of these sources and help us to suggest improvements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
