Discreet energy spectrum of an intense relativistic electron beam
Abstract
Direct measurement of the energy spectrum and the temporal structure of the IREB (discharge voltage, current, duration ≈1 MV, 25 kA, 30 ns) are presented for the first time to show that the IREB has a discrete energy distribution composed of dozens of spectral lines. Each line has an extremely narrow spectral width (<5 keV, Δ E/ E<1%), as well as an extremely narrow temporal pulse width (<0.5 ns).
