Spatial–temporal Hysteresis Effects in an Intense Electron Beam
نویسندگان
چکیده
An electron gun with large compression of a thin annular beam for generation of high-power microwaves and IR radiation has been designed. Computer simulations of beam formation in the gun show some hysteresis effects: a beam with different current can exist in the same external conditions. At the upper (metastable) part of a hysteresis curve the beam current exceeds Child-Langmuir current. Experimental observation of these metastable states is possible if one has the possibility for fast control of emitted current, which is the case for photoemission cathode. The results of computer simulation are presented and physics reasons of such behaviour are discussed.

Dosimetry of Intense Particle Beams Using the Thermomechanical Behaviour of an Irradiated Aluminium Alloy
An hydrodynamic code coupled with a "PUFF-type" equation of state has been set up to investigate the thermomechanical behaviour of an aluminium alloy irradiated by a 1 MeV electron beam. The absorbed flux can reach 3500 J/cm2 with an exponential damping along 1 mm dep;th. A weaker flux .is produced with 1 MeV protons whose the stopping range is 10 pm for a 8000 J/g dose. Thermal stresses genera...
متن کاملA method to minimize condenser lens-induced hysteresis effects in a JEOL JEM-3200FSC microscope to enable stable cryoEM low-dose operations
Low dose imaging procedures are key for a successful cryoEM experiment (whether by electron cryotomography, single particle analysis, electron crystallography, or MicroED). We present a method to minimize magnetic hysteresis of the condenser lens system in the JEOL JEM3200FSC transmission electron microscope (TEM) in order to maintain a stable optical axis for the beam path of low-dose imaging....

Introduction: Nowadays new radiochromic films have an essential role in radiotherapy dosimetry. Properties such as high sensitivity, good reproducibility, high spatial resolution, easy readout and portability have made them attractive for dosimetry, especially in high-dose-gradient regions. Material and Methods: In this study, electron-beam dose distributions in homogenous and heterogeneous pha...

متن کاملLinear analysis of a finite length plasma-filled backward wave oscillator
Absolute instability in a plasma-filled backward wave oscillator with sinusoidally corrugated slow wave structure driven by an intense relativistic electron beam has been analyzed numerically. The maximum spatial growth rate of the plasma-filled waveguide is found to be larger than that of an optimally designed vacuum structure. The excitation of a finite length structure is investigated.
