Abstract

In the contribution the preliminary results of the simulation experiment on expansion of a collisionless plasma with negative ions into a vacuum are presented. The electric field profile development in time and phase spaces for all three species are presented and discussed. Dependencies on negative ion mass are also studied. Double layer-like potential structure is observed to form in the expanding plasma under certain conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
