Design and performance of a 30 KV electron gun with ten independent cathodes & a magnetic lens

Rudys, Joseph M.

Measurements on a 30 kV electron gun with ten independent cathodes, operating in a 6.5 Tesla (T) magnetic field are presented. An earlier paper covered the design of this electron gun [1]. Experimental results are compared to model predictions. Beam current is compared to theoretical space charge limited flow.
