Sheet electron beam formation and transport in the uniform magnetic field

Abstract

In this paper, we have presented the simulation results on sheet beam electron gun and sheet beam transport in a uniform magnetic field. It is shown that the sheet beam with size 4.6 mm×0.4 mm, generated by the electron gun with 20 kV, 560 mA, can stably pass through the beam tunnel with transverse size 6 mm×1 mm and the length 120 mm in a uniform magnetic field.
