This technique would greatly lower the cost of heavy ion accelerators for both high energy density physics experiments and for fusion power plants.
The new results indicate that beams of ionic crystals should be possible to maintain even in large, high-energy ion accelerators, as long as the beam trajectories are smooth.
useful for electric thrusters), an introduction to plasma physics in sufficient detail to understand the models and derivations used to explain electric thruster performance, and then presents detailed explanations about how hollow cathode, plasma generators, ion accelerators, Hall thruster discharge channels, and electric thruster plumes work.
