Gradient B drift transport of high current electron beams
- 1. Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185
Description
A 1-MeV, 200-kA electron beam was transported 89 cm in a low pressure background gas via gradient B drift in the 1/r azimuthal magnetic field of a current carrying wire. The electron drift velocity was measured and found to be in good agreement with theory. Measurements of x-ray production in the target indicated high transport efficiency
