Limiting currents in unneutralized relativistic electron beams

Journal Article · · Appl. Phys. Lett., v. 23, no. 8, pp. 426-428
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1654945· OSTI ID:4364949

The space-charge depression of the potential within an unneutralized relativistic electron beam limits the beam current. Calculations of this effect are presented for an annular beam and compared to experiment. (auth)
