CPU efficient numerical code for charged particle transport through insulating straight capillaries

AA numerical code, labeled InCa4D, used for simulating CPU-efficiently the guiding of charged beam particles through insulating straight nano or macro capillaries, is presented in detail. The paper may be regarded as a walk through the numerical code, where we discuss how we compute the charge deposition and charge dynamics at the interfaces of a straight capillary and how we compute the electric field with imposed boundary conditions. The latter add surface polarization charges at the dielectric interfaces and free charges at conducting interfaces. Absorbing boundary conditions allow for a leakage current. As a result, the electric field in InCa4D yields accurate relaxation rates and decay rates for both cases, namely where the outer surface of the straight capillary is covered by a grounded conducting paint or not. Eventually, we show how we sample the initial conditions of the inserted beam particles and how we evaluate CPU-efficiently the particles' trajectory, allowing to compute typically $10^6$ trajectories in about two hours on a modern CPU.

Stabilizing the ion beam transmission through tapered glass capillaries

When an ion beam is injected into a tapered insulating capillary, the induced self-organized radial Coulomb potential in the capillary is able to focus the beam like an electrostatic lens. However, because of the continued accumulation of charge in the capillary, an equilibrium is rarely attained and the injected beam is eventually "Coulomb" blocked by the capillary's potential. We propose an original add-on to the capillary setup, which can be tested experimentally and which is expected to hinder the Coulomb blocking. We investigate numerically the benefits and limits of the modified capillary setup. We show in how far the intensity and emittance of the injected beam control the transmission rate through conically tapered capillaries. Our results indicate that the add-on succeeds to stabilize the asymptotic transmission rate for a larger range of beam intensities and emittances, while reaching a near optimal transmitted fraction up to 90%
