Popis: Using a three-dimensional numerical simulation, the dependencies of the electron cloud (virtual cathode) on the distance between the coils in the Polywell fusion reactor were examined. In the Polywell, the role of a stable and energetic virtual cathode is crucial for fusion. It is shown that by increasing the spacing coils, the electron confinement time increases initially and then remains constant. Using the simulation results, an optimum range for the spacing of coils was suggested, which leads to a longer and more effective confinement. The results obtained can be used to design future devices in order to have a more effective virtual cathode.
