Abstract
Because of the range of high charge states trapped in an EBIT, the Cou lomb interactions can be expected to have a significant effect on ion motion. The large number of ions trapped makes a simulation involving the coordinates of each ion computationally expensive. Two ways to app roximate the Coulomb interactions and also reduce the computational ti me are investigated.
