Abstract

We studied the electron beam generation in high-current diode with various cathode shapes and the beam propagation through vacuum or plasma delivered to metallic drift tube. The combined effect of external longitudinal and self-consistent azimuthal magnetic fields with the accelerating electric field is discussed. We are interested in obtaining the diode efficiency and beam characteristic in stationary state.
