Transient phenomena in high-current electron-beam transport in irregular waveguides
Abstract
The transport of a magnetized relativistic high-current tubular electron flux in an irregular vacuum waveguide has been studied experimentally. Results indicate that the instability of a relativistic tubular electron flux to azimuthal disturbances may have significant effects. Under certain conditions, such instability may limit the maximum value of the vacuum current, change the time required for the current to set up, and modify electron energy spectra.
