ELECTRON BEAM TRANSPORT IN DIELECTRIC TUBES

Abstract

The present paper outlines the results of experimental studying the transport process of pulse high-current beam of electrons about 200 ns in duration with energy under 200 keV through straight and bent glass tubes. A 17 degrees deviation of the electron beam going through the bent glass tube is demonstrated. Deviating the beam by non uniform electric field which forms inside the glass tube due to electric charge brought to the tube wall by beam electrons is assumed.
