Abstract
The efficiency of a Heavy Ion Fusion reactor heavily
depends on the maximum value for the density of energy (DoE) that can be
deposited by the ion beams. In order to reduce the final radius, and thus to
increase the DoE inside the target, the beam spatial charge has to be
neutralized. Therefore the dynamics of the neutralizing electrons (DNE) play
a central role in optimizing the DoE deposited in solid targets by high
current of high energy heavy ion beams. We present results on some aspects
of the DNE, which was performed using the Monte-Carlo 2D1/2 PIC code BPIC.
