Description
We perform Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation of KALI-30 GW pulsed power generator based rod-pinch diode. It is shown that ions emitted from the anode-plasma play a crucial role in diode dynamics. It is found that ions not only help in compensating the space charge due to electron beam, but also lead to enhancement of the local electric field at the side walls of the cathode leading to additional electron emission from the side wall. Electrons emanating from one side wall of the cathode tend to converge at the anode tip. This can be used to design an improved Flash X-ray source. (author)
