Intense electron-beam pinch formation and propagation in rod pinch diodes

Journal Article · · Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.90550· OSTI ID:6661512
Intense electron-beam pinches are formed and propagated at relatively high impedance (5--25 ..cap omega..) using rod pinch diodes. Pinch propagation of up to 20 cm with 45% efficiency and ion-generation efficiency > or approx. =15% has been observed.
