In the paper we theoretically investigate the mechanism by which the space of drift electrons is contracted in klystron-type bunchers which modulate the electron beam in ion accelerators, in particular to excite an rf field. The contraction of the drift length is effected through a decrease in the mean beam velocity in the field of an electrostatic lens or a metal tube and is based on the fact that the relative motion of velocity-modulated electrons are independent of the mean velocity of the electron beam in a weak modulation regime.
