Simulation of a wide-aperture electron accelerator based on ion-electron emission in repetitively pulsed mode

Abstract

The paper proposes numerical and analytical approaches to modeling the generation of an electron beam in a repetitively pulsed regime of a wide-aperture electron accelerator based on secondary ion-electron emission with a plasma emitter. With the help of known codes and the developed approach, separate modes are simulated. Qualitatively, the obtained experimental results are qualitatively explained, which are in good agreement with the developed approach to modeling.
