Abstract

A cylindrical hollow cathode discharge is modelled bythe solution of the Boltzmann equation and by particle-fluid(hybrid) simulation.While the latter technique provides a self-consistent solution for the problem, the Boltzmann methodprovides detailed information about the electron kinetics in thedischarge over the whole energy range.The results obtained from the two methods areconsistent with each other and show a fair agreement with previousexperimental data thereby validating the modelling methods used.
