Summary
Computer simulation techniques using the Monte Carlo method have been developed for application to the modeling of neutral-beam intection into mirror-confined plasmas of interest to controlled thermonuclear research. The energetic (10 to 300 keV) neutral-beam particles interact with the target plasma (T/sub i/ approx. 10 to 100 keV) through electron-atom and ion-atom collisional ionization as well as ion-atom charge-transfer (charge-exchange) collisions to give a fractional trapping of the neutral beam and a loss of charge-transfer-produced neutrals which escape to bombard the reactor first wall. Appropriate interaction cross sections for these processes are calculated for the assumed anisotropic, non-Maxwellian plasma ion phase-space distributions.
