Optimization of Multistage Collectors Using the MICHELLE Code Within the Analyst Modeling Framework

Abstract

Using the MICHELLE Gun and Collector code linked to the Analyst finite-element modelling package, we have investigated the use of direct-search and statistical optimization strategies in the design of depressed collectors. Results of our work on an idealized device show that substantial improvements in efficiency can be realized using these methods.
