Effect of pulsating electric field on the ECR heating in CERA-RX(C)

3D particle-in-cell plasma simulation for field configurations implemented in the ECR source of X-ray CERA-RX (C) (2.45 GHz) was carried out. Energy spectra of electrons landed on the target electrode on the amplitude and frequency of the pulsations of the electric field in the megahertz range were obtained. The comparison of simulation data with the result of a natural experiment was performed.
