Beam conditioning for electron energy recovery systems in devices employing axis-encircling beams
(Taylor & Francis, 1988)Depressed collectors are extensively used in linear-beam devices. In spiraling beam devices, the motion of the spent beam needs to be converted into axial motion before it can deliver energy to the retarding axial ... -
Characterization of electron beams generated in a high-voltage pulse-line-driven pseudospark discharge
