Abstract

For inertial confinement fusion (ICF), a focused light ion beam (LIB) is required to propagate stably through a chamber to a target. It is pointed out that the applied external magnetic field is important for LIB propagation. To investigate the influence of the external magnetic field on the LIB propagation, the electrostatic dispersion relation of the magnetized light ion beam-plasma system was analyzed. The particle in-cell (PIC) simulation results are presented for a light ion beam-plasma system with an external magnetic field.
