Resumen
Abstract
This work analyzes through computational methods the phenomenon of
con nement and heating of plasmas, in open magnetic traps, Minimum-B, and zero-B under
conditions of resonance electron cyclotron (ECR). This simulation is made using electrostatic
particle in cell method. First, it simulates the minimum-B trap, which has been studied both
numerically and experimentally, by which is accomplished the confrontation of 6 different types
of results that help us to validate our code. In the same way the zero-B trap is analysed.
Proposed by Dr. Dugar-Zhabon, the main characteristic of the trap is the nullity of the
magnetic eld in the centre of the trap. The results show the detailed behaviour of the electronic
component in the initial stage of the formation of plasma. Given the computational cost of the
used model that allowed us to simulates ne details of the dynamics of plasma. Results were
only reached in the time of half-life of the electrons. During this period the minimum-B trap
proved to be better for the production of ions than the zero-B trap. Due to the huge amount
of equations needed to solve the motion equations and the charge density, they are calculated
in a Parallel way by GPU clustering.
