Title: A computation for studying the formation of the relativistic electron layer in astron
Abstract: In the controlled fusion experiment, Astron, relativistic electrons are injected at the end of a long cylindrical tank across an applied axial magnetic field. A rotating cylindrical sheath of electrons is formed. The self-consistent field problem is solved by integrating the time-dependent Vlasov-Maxwell equations numerically using finite-difference methods. The problem described is four dimensional and requires a large scale computing system for the solution of the difference equations.
