Propagation of relativistic high current electron beams across the geomagnetic field

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7038353

Relativistic high current electron beams can be transported long distances across the geomagnetic field using the IFR (Ion focused Regime) technique. IFR is a method of providing strong electrostatic focusing and guiding of the beam. The guiding is sufficiently strong to allow the beam to transport any angle with respect to geomagnetic field. In the IFR method, first an ionizing laser (or any ionizing method) is used to create a preionized cylindrical channel.
