Formation of microsecond high-current electron beams in a diode of magnetron type
Abstract
Experimental results are presented on the formation of tubular electron beams in a diode of magnetron type. Factors affecting the perveance of the diode and its time variations are considered along with such factors as the distribution of current density over the beam radius and the beam geometry. It is shown that this type of diode can be used to form electrom beams with a duration of 10 to the -5th to 10 to the -4th sec, energies up to 250 keV, and current up to 0.5 kA. The stability of the beam parameters is significantly higher than that of beams formed by magnetically insulated diodes.
