Ionization Efficiency in a Hot Flat Disc-Shaped Cavity by M. Turek

“…The code enables calculation of total ionization efficiency and is suitable for stable and long-lived nuclides.Influence of the flat disc cavity geometry (thickness and radius) and its temperature on total ionization efficiency was considered – it was shown that the efficiency increases with cavity radius due to the growing number of particle-wall collisions. …”

Experimental characteristics of lost fast negative ions on EAST tokamak by Z.X. Zhang, J. Huang, J.F. Chang, C.R. Wu, J. Galdon-Quiroga, A. Snicker, M. Isobe, K. Ogawa, K.Y. He, S.S. Wang, Y.X. Sun, X.H. Wang, the EAST Team

“…Velocity-space distributions of lost fast negative and positive ions reconstructed by the FILDSIM code are basically consistent. Orbit analysis backtracked by the ASCOT code shows that the fast negative ions are generated at the low-field side (LFS) scrape-off layer, whereas the fast positive ions are generated near the last closed flux surface (LCFS) at both the high- and LFSs. …”
