The more I think about this the more convinced that the optimal solution is only going to be found by running simulations. There are just too many variables to figure out the best solution.
right. there could even be multiple bursts of high-speed particles coming off. we don’t know, yet.
Yes – I am intending to try to start coding a simulation of the He ions and the Rogowski coil this weekend. (I don’t think anyone would be in a position to create a simulation of the plasmoid yet to give the expected ion distribution – energy and timing?? so I will make those variables)
Even if there were multiple bursts they would still be within the lifetime of the plasmoid which I believe I read somewhere is exceedingly short – can anyone put a timescale on this???
