The present work investigates the computer analysis of the ion beam properties produced by a Freeman type system. The extraction for such system is composed of four electrodes that permit to keep a fixed output energy by means of two accelerating gaps and one decelerating gap. The latter allows reducing the beam divergence angle. The combination of the acceleration/deceleration sections provides to keep a low beam emittance at the source outlet. The simulation of single charged argon ion trajectories for a plasma concave of curvature 4 mm was first studied with and without space charge effect using acceleration/deceleration extraction system with the aid of the SIMION computer program. The voltage applied to the accelerating electrode was optimized to accomplish the suitable ion trajectories without hitting the extraction electrode. Then, two additional studies were performed: the influence of the acceleration voltage and extraction voltage on the beam emittance and beam diameter; and the effect of the extraction gap width (distance between the plasma emission surface and the acceleration electrode) on the shape of the ion beam envelope and the position of the ion beam waist. Last, the influence of the space charge on the ion beam envelope was also investigated.
