A multi-megavolt, two-microsecond electron beam diode

Creators

Description

An electron beam diode has been developed that operates in the multi-megavolt, microsecond regime. The diode was developed as part of the Troll Electron Beam Accelerator Program. It is a foilless diode with a field emission (cold) cathode designed to produce a 1-kA to 10-kA beam at up to 4 MV. It employs a unique cathode geometry to prevent excessive beam divergence. The diode has been operated in the 2-MV to 3.5-MV range. Currents at the present operating parameters are 1.8 kA to 3.0 kA. A description of the diode, the diode design criteria, and experimental results to date will be presented
