The results of optimization and testing of an electron gun (EG) with an off-axis cathode position are presented. The EG can be used as an injector for different types of electron accelerators. The main goal of the optimization is a search for degrees of freedom in the geometry of the gun electrodes that allow designing of diode guns with different values of the beam perveance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
