contents We present the design and simulation of a prototype gas cell for in-gas-jet laser-ionization and spectroscopy studies using the low energy branch of the SPIRAL2-S$^3$ radioactive-ion-beam facility. The prototype aims to demonstrate the possibility to reduce the extraction time of radioactive ions from the gas cell, while implementing a controlled neutralization mechanism, necessary for laser-spectroscopy studies. Different simulation methods of ion processes in gas are comparatively discussed. Design considerations and detailed simulations of the ion extraction time and efficiency are presented. A study of the dynamics of electrons obtained in the gas cell by ionization is also performed to assess the achievable electron densities.
