- W4366998216 abstract "Recent studies of power flow and particle transport in multi-MA pulsed-power accelerators demonstrate that electrode plasmas may reduce accelerator efficiency by shunting current upstream from the load [Bennett et al., Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 24, 060401 (2021)]. The detailed generation and evolution of these electrode plasmas are examined here using fully relativistic, Monte Carlo particle-in-cell (PIC) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations over a range of peak currents (8--48 MA). The PIC calculations, informed by vacuum science, describe the electrode surface breakdown and particle transport prior to electrode melt. The MHD calculations show the bulk electrode evolution during melt. The physical description provided by this combined study begins with the rising local magnetic field that increases the local electrode surface temperature. This initiates the thermal desorption of contaminants from the electrode surface, with contributions from atoms outgassing from the bulk metal. The contaminants rapidly ionize forming a ${10}^{15}--{10}^{18}text{ }text{ }{mathrm{cm}}^{ensuremath{-}3}$ plasma that is effectively resistive while weakly collisional because it is created within, and rapidly penetrated by, a strong magnetic field ($>30text{ }text{ }mathrm{T}$). Prior to melting, the density of this surface plasma is limited by the concentration of absorbed contaminants in the bulk ($ensuremath{sim}{10}^{19}text{ }text{ }{mathrm{cm}}^{ensuremath{-}3}$ for hydrogen), its diffusion, and ionization. Eventually, the melting electrodes form a conducting plasma (${10}^{21}--{10}^{23}text{ }text{ }{mathrm{cm}}^{ensuremath{-}3}$) that experiences $mathbf{j}ifmmodetimeselsetexttimesfi{}mathbf{B}$ compression and a typical decaying magnetic diffusion profile. This physical sequence ignores the transport of collisional plasmas of ${10}^{19}text{ }text{ }{mathrm{cm}}^{ensuremath{-}3}$ which may arise from electrode defects and associated instabilities. Nonetheless, this picture of plasma formation and melt may be extrapolated to higher-energy pulsed-power systems." @default.
