Abstract
Our time-implicit fluid/Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code DYNAID [1] is appl ied to problems relevant for applied-B ion diode operation. We present simulations of the laser ion source, which will soon be employed on t he SABRE accelerator at SNL, and of the dynamics of the anode source p lasma in the applied electric and magnetic fields. DYNAID is still a t est-bed for a higher-dimensional simulation code. Nevertheless, the co de can already give new theoretical insight into the dynamics of plasm as in pulsed power devices.
