Abstract
Electron neutralization is a key feature in the propagation of intense ion beams. A one-dimensional sheath solution is given that demonstrates how electrons are captured by a transient ion beam emerging into a field-free vacuum. Conditions for space-charge and current neutralization are discussed. The importance of the electron distribution in determining the minimum spot size of a focused ion beam is considered.
