Role of field and electron impact ionization in ionization front generated by an intense electron beam

Kato, Susumu*; Kishimoto, Yasuaki*; Takahashi, Eiichi*; Sasaki, Akira

The interaction of an intense electron beam with a neutral background material is studied. The neutral material is ionized by the electrostatic field generated by the intense electron beam and electron impact ionization. The structure of ionization front is analyzed using a one-dimensional model. The structure is mainly determined by the electron impact ionization of ionized background electrons. In addition, the field ionization contributes to the generation of the ionization front with increasing the density of the electron beam.
