Abstract

A converging sheet electron beam with a cross section of 0.05 × 2 mm and current density of 200 A/cm2, which is formed by an electron gun, is modeled using the synthesis and analysis methods at the condition of magnetic shielding of the cathode. The deformation in the cross section of the beam in the focusing magnetic field is analyzed based on a computer three-dimensional model of an electron optical system with a sheet electron beam. The current-voltage characteristic of an electron gun is studied experimentally in the pulse mode. A collector current of 200 mA is obtained with the beam thickness being 70 μm.
