Description

We present updates of a simulation suite to model in-plasma ion-electron dynamics, including self-consistent electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation and ion population kinetics to study atomic processes in ECR plasmas. The EM absorption is modelled by a heuristic collisional term in the cold dielectric tensor. However, we are stepping beyond the cold approximation, modelling the hot tensor with non-collisional RF wave damping. The tool calculates steady-state particle distributions via a full wave-PIC code and solves for collisional-radiative process giving atomic population and charge state distribution. The scheme is general and applicable to many physics’ cases of interest for the ECRIS community, including the build-up of the charge-state-distribution and the plasma emitted X-ray and optical radiation. We present its last updates and future perspectives, using as a case-study the PANDORA scenario. We report about studying in-plasma dynamics of injected metallic species and radioisotopes ionisation efficiency for different injection conditions and plasma parameters. The code is capable of reconstructing space-resolved plasma emissivity, to be directly compared to plasma emission measurements, and modelling plasma-induced modification of radioactivity.
