Abstract:
70731 Within high energy physics, the laser, plasma accelerator, and plasma processing communities have a need for simulating ionization events caused by such different effects as tunneling, impact, and above-threshold ionization. This project will develop a generic, extendable, and interoperable software package for simulating these ionization processes. The software will be used easily with existing Particles-In-Cell, hydrodynamic, and other plasma simulation codes. The package will be designed with a generic interface to support the extension to different types of atoms and will be used in combination with particle-in-cell codes for simulating plasma accelerator experiments. Phase I will develop algorithms for impact, tunneling, and above- threshold ionization. A stand-alone library of generic, interoperable code will be provided for impact and tunneling ionization. A prototype of the library will be demonstrated for use with the Object-Oriented Particle-In-Cell (OOPIC) code for simulations of laser frequency blue shifting. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The ionization package should have application to the plasma processing industry. The code will be essential for simulating ionization events in plasma display panels and in plasma accelerators.Small Business Information at Submission:Tech-x Corporation
