Repetitive Operation of the Source of Low-Energy, High-Current Electron Beams
摘要
Abstract
The frequency mode of operation (1 pulse/s) of a source of low-energy, high-current electron beams based on an explosive-emission cathode with built-in arc plasma sources initiated by dielectric surface flashover was investigated. It has been shown that the source stably (without missing) generates the beam in the modes of vacuum and gas-filled diode at a prescribed pulse repetition rate and charge voltages of the generator supplying an electron gun of 5–20 kV.
