Fig. 1. Experiment 11.22

Magnetic field = 1,6 tesla.
The spheres have been placed a little bit farther away, in order to be able
to stop the D+ ions.
500 D+ ions and 500 electrons are generated in the centre region
with random speeds up to 3,8 E6 m/s (!).
Result:
The electrons are well confined in the centre of the simulation space.
For fusion to occur the mean speed of the deuterium ions must be about 2E6
m/s (see:
when_do_deuterium_ions_fuse ).
Here the D+ ions stay confined even with speeds rather
larger than this.
In the simulation we can not generate a lot more than 500 particles. In a
real experiment the electrons confined in the centre perhaps form a virtual
cathode that will atract the D+ ions and improve our SEM fusor!
