Abstract
⺠We model the lunar photoelectron sheath with a particle-in-cell code. ⺠We include the presence of a crater in the sheath. ⺠The crater alters the plasma environment, leading to enhanced electric fields. ⺠We model electrostatic dust transport using the particle-in-cell results. ⺠We find that craters can effectively trap dust grains electrostatically.
