Abstract

A generator for producing an intense relativisitc electron beam having a subnanosecond current rise time includes a conventional generator of intense relativistic electrons feeding into a short electrically conductive drift tube including a cavity containing a working gas at a low enough pressure to prevent the input beam from significantly ionizing the working gas. Ionizing means such as a laser simultaneously ionize the entire volume of working gas in the cavity to generate an output beam having a rise time less than one nanosecond.

Intense steady state electron beam generator

Patent Hershcovitch, A.; Kovarik, V.J.; Prelec, K.

An intense, steady state, low emittance electron beam generator is formed by operating a hollow cathode discharge plasma source at critical levels in combination with an extraction electrode and a target electrode that are operable to extract a beam of fast primary electrons from the plasma source through a negatively biased grid that is critically operated to repel bulk electrons toward the plasma source while allowing the fast primary electrons to move toward the target in the desired beam that can be successfully transported for relatively large distances, such as one or more meters away from the plasma source. 2more » figs.« less
Intense, energetic electron beam assisted fusion neutron generator

Patent Roberts, T.G.; Shatas, R.A.; Meyer, H.C. III; ...

An energetic electron beam assisted fusion neutron generator which comprises a plasma generator and an electron source interconnected by a pinch tube is described. Means for controlling the plasma generator, electron source, and the pinch tube to cause the electron source to be focused on the plasma from the plasma generator and to cause the electron source to be transmitted to the plasma of the plasma generator at the appropriate time to cause a maximum amount of neutrons to be produced by the interaction of the outputs of the plasma generator and the electron source through an appropriate gas fillingmore » the plasma generator are described.« less
High voltage electrical amplifier having a short rise time

Patent Christie, D.J.; Dallum, G.E.

This patent describes a circuit, comprising an amplifier and a transformer which is disclosed that produces a high power pulse having a fast response time, and that responds to a digital control signal applied through a digital-to-analog converter. The present invention is suitable for driving a component such as an electro-optic modulator with a voltage in the kilovolt range. The circuit is stable at high frequencies and during pulse transients, and its impedance matching circuit matches the load impedance with the output impedance. The preferred embodiment comprises an input stage compatible with high-speed semi-conductor components for amplifying the voltage ofmore »« less
