Some experiments with a new type of crossed-field gun |
| |
Abstract: | The construction and testing of a crossed-field gun based on an exact space-charge flow solution will be described. All the characteristic parameters of a gun of this type may be obtained analytically. Experimentally the gun was found to perform essentially as predicted. This gun has a moderately high convergence and produces a beam whose gross features give a very good approximation to planar Brillouin flow. Work by Anderson has indicated that crossed-field beams produced by a gun of this type may be somewhat less noisy than similar beams produced by other types of guns. |
