To improve understanding of the processes involved in the built-up and steady-state, simulations using the Particle-in-Cell code bender were made. We will present the influence of various system parameters on the results. Furthermore, the electron velocity distribution was found to be approximately thermal. The spatial distribution can then be found by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Such a model for the electron distribution was implemented in a 2D PIC code and applied to typical beam transport situations. We will present results in comparison to the 3D simulations.
