Abstract: 

We produce the results of computer analysis of complex dynamics of non-relativistic electron beam being placed in crossed electric and magnetic fields, in the regime of a virtual cathod forming in additional braking field. The modeling has been made in the framework of 2D numerical model in the geometry of magnetron-injector gun.

Key words:
