The high-current thermionic-cathode accelerator operates in single-shot mode. A magnetron-injection gun forms a tubular beam with either straight or helical electron trajectories, depending on the magnetic field intensity. When producing electrons with straight trajectories, the electron pulse has a voltage of 300 kV, a current of 300 A, and a width of 10 {mu}sec. A relativistic carcinotron using this beam emits radiation at a wavelength of 6.5 cm with a power of 7 MW and a pulse width of 10{mu}sec.
