On the mechanism of «compressed»­state formation at relativistic electron beam in two­section drift tube

Autors: 
Petrik Aleksej Georgievich, Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov
Abstract: 

This paper is devoted to the three­dimensional numerical simulation of the «compressed» state of the relativistic electron beam in two­section vircator system with drift tubes with different diameters. We have discovered the mechanism of formation of the «compressed» state of the relativistic beam through the formation of two virtual cathode near the anode grid and between connected sections, which will eventually merged into one distributed in the drift space virtual cathode (compressed state of the beam).
