Space-charge-based electrostatic plasma confinement involving relaxed plasma species (open access)

Space-charge-based electrostatic plasma confinement involving relaxed plasma species

In this article, a numerical study is reported on the equilibrium properties of a surface-emitted or edge-confined non-drifting plasma. A self-consistent finite-differences evaluation of the electrostatic potential is carried out for a non-neutral plasma that follows a Boltzmann density distribution.
