Analysis of Dynamic Crossed-Field Electron Multiplication.

Abstract

The general solution for single electron motion in alternating uniform electric fields and crossed steady uniform magnetic fields is presented. Several aspects of the motion are discussed when the electrons are assumed to have zero initial velocities, such as phase focusing, arrival energy, etc. The case when initial electron velocity cannot be ignored is considered, and the effects of initial velocities and velocity distribution is investigated. Some practical considerations, such as gain and power requirements, are investigated. A few of the possible applications in addition to high frequency response photomultiplier are discussed.
