Determining Time and Energy Parameters of the Electron Beam of a High-Current Pulse Gun.

The object of study is an electron gun with a desorption slit cathode and the Lewis pulse transformer at a voltage reaching 300 kV. The beam current and the input transformer voltage are measured in each pulse of the gun. By solving the equations describing the electrical circuit of the electron gun, spectral characteristics of the electron beam corresponding to the specific electrical parameters of the gun are obtained. Measurements using a magnetic spectrometer showed satisfactory agreement of the energy characteristics obtained during calculations and direct measurements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
