Description

Time changes of angular spread and density distribution of nonmagnetized relativistic electron beam (REB) (0.5 MeV, 30 kA, 45 ns) in neutral gas are investigated. Change of beam configuration - from cylindrical to turbular for the time shorter than REB current pulse duration has been discovered. It is shown that the angular spectrum rebuilding occurs at a velocity of up to 2x107 s-1 which can considerably affect the beam relaxation in neutral gas
