Collisionless plasma expansion and fast ion generation at plasma-vacuum boundary
Collisionless plasma expansion into a vacuum is investigated by computational treatment of a system of Vlasov equations for both ions and electrons coupled by a self-consistent field. High-velocity low-density mass expansion is observed as a result of an electrostatic acceleration of ions.
