Abstract
The constructed cylindrical and spherical models of a laser-plasma ion source of a portable neutron generator made it possible to analyze the dynamics of ion currents based on their representation in the form of the interaction of partial and limiting currents and to greatly simplify the numerical algorithm. For the selected parameters of the discharge gap and the laser, the values of ion currents at the cathode are obtained. The calculated values of ion currents are compared with experimental data.
