Because the CPR cathodes can provide such a high current density with a long lifetime, the beam can be generated without compression. This greatly simplifies the gun and solenoid designs.","PeriodicalId":283300,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 14th International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IVEC)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127449780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
