ALCBEAM – Neutral beam formation and propagation code for beam-based plasma diagnostics

The code effectively unifies the ion beam formation, extraction and neutralization processes with beam attenuation and excitation in plasma and neu... Title of program: ALCBEAM Catalogue Id: AEKU_v1_0 Nature of problem Neutral beams are commonly used to heat and/or diagnose high-temperature magnetically-confined laboratory plasmas. An accurate neutral beam characterization is required for beam-based measurements of plasma properties.

Beam parameters such as density distribution, energy composition, and atomic excited populations of the beam atoms need to be known.
