Research on Edge Ionization and Star Mode Discharge Physics in Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Neutron/proton Sources
… steady-state discharge treatment of the IEC Star Mode incorporating the new physics understandings unearthed over the last eight years. Experimental benchmarking was successful at testing key model assumptions and validating the code simulation results. And finally, the PAIGS concept was …

Two-Dimensional Modeling of a Radially-Convergent Cylindrical Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (Iec) Fusion Device
… is estimated as the dominant source of light in Star-mode beams, and electron-impact excitation is estimated as the dominant light source in the Star-mode core. The spatial distribution of these reactions is also in agreement with experimental observations.

Formation and extraction of a dense plasma jet from a helicon-plasma-injected inertial electrostatic confinement device
… has several pressure and grid-geometry dependent modes of operation for the confinement of plasma. Although the symmetric grid star-mode is the most often studied for its application to fusion, the asymmetric grid jet-mode has its own potential application for electric space propulsion. The …

Comparative simulations of conceptual ion extractors for use in asymmetric inertial electrostatic confinement
Many deep space propulsion missions currently use ballistic trajectories to reach their destinations. To reduce the times of flight, electric or plasma based propulsion systems are used. While Hall Effect thrusters are the general standard for plasma propulsion, new technologies can enable shorter …
