NEA-1200 ELEORBIT.

1. NAME OR DESIGNATION OF PROGRAM:  ELEORBIT

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

Performance characteristics of  a magnetic multipole plasma source depend strongly on the structure  of the line-cusp magnetic fields and the behaviour of the primary electrons. In order to design and improve the plasma source efficiently, a computer code was developed which can simulate primary electron orbits in the three-dimensional mangetic field generated in the source.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME:  The sample input requires about 60 secs.

Reprint from J. Appl. Phys. 61(4), 15 February 1987 pp.1323-1328

11. MACHINE REQUIREMENTS:  PC.

This version was tested at the NEA Data Bank on a PC with 3GHz INTEL Pentium 4 RAM 1Gb with WINDOWS XP Professional.

13. OPERATING SYSTEM UNDER WHICH PROGRAM IS EXECUTED: , The code runs under WINDOWS only.

14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS:  The input instructions are given in EXCEL format.
