Abstract

Some analytical kinetic solutions are obtained for the primary and plasma electrons in multi-cusp ion source. The characteristics based on these solutions are discussed, such as frictional coefficient, collision frequency, electron current, electron diffusion, electron density, and electrical conductivity. A code based on one of these solutions is developed to discuss the plasma electrons diffusion; the simulation results are qualitatively consistent with our current experiences.
