This publication presents the self-consistent formation and dynamics of electron clouds interacting with a background neutral gas through elastic and inelastic (ionization) collisions in coaxial geometries similar to gyrotron electron guns. In this paper, the dynamics of the cloud density and currents resulting from electron-neutral collisions are studied using a 2D3V particle-in-cell code. Simulation results and parametric scans are hereby presented. Finally, a fluid model is derived to explain and predict the cloud peak density and peak radial current depending on the externally applied electric and magnetic fields, and on the RNG pressure.

This dataset contains the data corresponding to each figure of the publication. These results were mainly obtained using the FENNECS code, which is publicly available at: https://ic-gitlab.epfl.ch/pgiroud/fennecs.git.
