Study of Multi-Electron Ionization and Charge Exchange in HIBF

In addition to the study of atomic effects for HIBF, plasma dynamics in a low-energy radio frequency (RF) discharge is studied through the implementation of a new Monte Carlo Collision (MCC) module developed for including into a Particle-In-Cell (PIC) package, The MCC module uses available cross section data for the light ion-atom collisions as the input. The results illustrate the collision effects on particle transport in the discharge.
