Nonadiabatic Electron-Optical System of a Technological Gyrotron

详细

We consider a new version of the nonadiabatic system for the formation of a helical electron beam in a gyrotron, in which electrons acquire initial oscillatory velocities when a rectilinear beam is injected at an angle to the magnetic field. In such an electron gun, the influence of thermal electron velocities and roughness of the emitting surface can be decreased, as compared with the conventional electron-optical systems of gyrotrons. This makes it possible to increase significantly the system efficiency. The main factors affecting the quality of the formed beam are considered.
