Effect of Electron Emission Processes on Macroparticle Charging in Plasma Systems With Electron Beam

Abstract

The effect of different electron emission processes on macropraticle (MP) charging in a plasma at the presence of electron beam is investigated. A complete model of the MP charging in the beam-plasma systems, which includes possible electron emission processes from the MP surface, such as secondary electron emission, the thermionic electron emission, the field electron emission and thermal-field electron emission, is presented.
