Abstract

High energy electrons are produced and play an important role such as radical particle production in microwave
plasma. It was investigated how high energy electrons were produced through PIC-MCC simulations.
The results show that the high energy electrons gain their energy when they pass the E-field of
a resonantly excited electron plasma wave by a microwave around cut-off density, and the acquisition
energy depends on the timing and their velocity of electrons entering into a resonant region.
