Formation of a virtual cathode by a relativistic electron beam flowing through a cavity

M. Friedman

Open publisher page 13 citations

Abstract

A region of strong electric field (i.e., a virtual cathode) is formed when a relativistic electron beam is forced to flow through a cavity. This region is located at the entrance of the cavity and significantly affects the behavior of the beam.
