Using the self-consistent, 2-1/2-dimensional particle-in-cell MAGIC code, based upon the explosive emission model, we have simulated the characteristics of the proton flux extracted from a planar magnetically insulated diode with a 200-mm-wide and an 8 mm anode-cathode gap. Results of numerical calculation, e.g., the spatial distributions of the extracted proton current density vs time and the spatial distribution of particles in diode gap are presented at a diode voltage of 300 kV with 40 ns pulse duration and an externally insulating magnetic field of 0–4Bcrit. With the increase of the magnetic field, the uniformity of the extracted proton flux is significantly improved; however, the maximum of the proton current density and one of the proton energy density decrease from 150 to 45 A/cm2 and from 1.0 to 0.3 J/cm2, respectively, when B varied from 0 to 4Bcrit. The effects of the magnetic field on uniformity of the extracted proton flux are discussed in this article. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
