Cylindrical microvacuum cell with circular edge cathode and two coaxial plate face anodes is considered as a magnotosensitive element. Electron beam transport in self-consistent electric field is simulated using cylindrical particle-in-mesh code. Static and dynamic characteristics of magnetosensitive element are studied. Several circular grid electrodes are included in the model to control the electron beam. A target plate face electrode is considered as a secondary electron source.
Results of the 2.5-dimensional numerical simulation of the hollow high-current ion beam (HHCIB) dynamics in two magnet-isolated accelerating gaps separated by the drift gap are presented. The previous study has shown that the good charge and current compensations of the ion beam by the specially injected in accelerating gap electron beam and the thermal electron injection into drift gap of the induction linac occur. With the aim of increasing the ion beam acceleration rate in the two cusps linac we have studied the optimal correlation between an accelerating electric field and an electron beam energy. It is shown also that the proposed method of the ion beam compensation ensures the beam stability relative to both electromagnetic filamentation instability and transit-time instability.
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.
