Errors analysis of the reverse simulation method for negative hydrogen ion beam extraction process
摘要
This study systematically evaluates the error sources in the reverse calculation of negative hydrogen ion beam extraction, with a focus on the impact of co-extracted electrons and measurement sampling.
MethodsAn iterative-convergence-based beam dynamics algorithm was implemented using the COMSOL simulation platform. Errors were quantified by comparing reverse-calculated phase-space distributions with original forward simulation data.
ResultsWhen co-extracted electrons were neglected in both forward and reverse simulations, the beam envelope error remained below 0.5%. However, omitting electrons in the reverse calculation while they were present in the forward simulation led to an error that increased with
Ignoring co-extracted electrons leads to substantial errors in reverse calculation, while adopting a suitable electron distribution model improves accuracy. Optimal measurement sampling further enhances reconstruction reliability. These findings provide guidance for improving the reverse-calculation-based reconstruction of ion source meniscus profiles.
