Detailed structure and statistical divergence have been measured on the intense pulsed proton beam (300 keV, 80 ns, 5--10 kA) produced by an applied-B/sub theta/ magnetically insulated ion diode. A statistical divergence of the beam of about +- 2/sup 0/ azimuthally and +- 2/sup 0/ to +- 4/sup 0/ radially was obtained. Beam image patterns show an intensity modulation of the proton beam in the azimuthal direction corresponding to a period 0.5--1 mm on the anode surface in addition to a regular 6-mm modulation caused by structure built into the anode.
