Book Chapter Description

Particle-In-Cell with Monte-Carlo collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation is a powerful tool for analysis of the underlying physics in a negative ion source and a useful guideline to a new source design and the alternative operating conditions. In this chapter, the fundamentals of the PIC-MCC modelling and the important simulation results are reviewed. The negative ion sources for fusion devices and accelerators are modelled, and the physical issues such as the RF plasma discharge, negative ion extraction mechanism, and negative ion beam optics are summarized.
