Title: E-beam ionized channel guiding of an intense relativistic electron beam

Patent ·
OSTI ID:866585

An IREB is guided through a curved path by ionizing a channel in a gas with electrons from a filament, and confining the electrons to the center of the path with a magnetic field extending along the path. The magnetic field is preferably generated by a solenoid extending along the path.
