This paper describes a continuous-running electron gun which has a plasma emitter that is based on a reflective arc discharge in a cold hollow cathode, which provides an electron beam carrying a current of 1 A. The beam current can be regulated smoothly from 1 mA to 1 A by varying the potential of the emitter cathode.
