A system is being tested for recovery of rf power by conversion to DC pulsed power. The system consists of a cyclotron autoresonance accelerator (CARA) [1,2], and a single stage depressed collector (Fig. 1). A 50 kV, 5 A electron beam is injected into CARA, and up to 1 MW of S-band rf power is absorbed by the beam with efficiency exceeding 95%. The beam then passes to a single stage depressed c...

Abstract We have studied the modification of nitrile butadiene rubber surface properties by pulsed and continuous electron beams generated in inert (argon, helium) chemically active (oxygen, nitrogen, air) gas atmosphere fore-vacuum range pressure (∼10 Pa). Relative measurements wear rate, friction coefficient, contact (wetting) angle sample surfaces before after beam treatment been made. found...
