FAR-TECH, Inc is developing a hybrid, quasi-3D model to model charge breeding of an ion beam in an electron cyclotron resonance ion source. The model is a combination of 3D mapping of the plasma background calculated by GEM1D* and 3D tracking of the ion trajectories with MCBC**. The 3D electron distribution function and electric field of the background plasma are calculated self-consistently. The test beam ions are then tracked in it using MCBC which includes Coulomb, ionization and charge exchange collisions. The exact ion trajectories in the plasma and steady state 3D ion distribution at the extraction aperture are predicted and compared with previous simulations and experiments.
