In this simulation, a laser beam passes through a Xenon gas and ionizes it, transforming the gas into a plasma of multiply ionized xenon ions and electrons. The cold plasma electrons (green dots) expand vertically in the direction of polarization of the laser but are pushed to the bottom plate by the applied electric field. The singly ionized xenon ions (Xe+, red dots), doubly ionized (Xe2+, pink dots) and triply ionized xenon ions (Xe3+, light pink dots) are then pulled to the top plate and pass through the aperture.
