32 Conclusions Particle simulations bring microscopic information in space and time on plasmas species (densities, potential, eedf, etc.) This knowledge of plasma can be exploited further to deduce transport parameter (electron diffusion across the magnetic field), instabilities, metal transport and ionization, kinetic channels, etc. Reactivity in HiPIMS is only initiated in the high power pulse phase, but it continues in the afterglow, by different reaction channels, namely negative ions T.
