title = "3D Monte Carlo modeling of the EEDF in negative hydrogen ion sources",
abstract = "For optimization and accurate prediction of the amount of H- ion production in negative ion sources, analysis of electron energy distribution function (EEDF) is necessary. We are developing a numerical code which analyzes EEDF in tandem-type arc-discharge sources. It is a three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation code with the realistic geometry and magnetic configuration. Coulomb collision between electrons is treated with {"}Binary Collision{"} model and collisions with hydrogen species are treated with {"}Null-collision (NC){"} method. We have applied this code to the analysis of the JAEA 10 ampere negative ion source. The numerical result shows that the obtained EEDFs reasonably agree with experimental results.",
