Beam Propagation Experimental Study.

Abstract

The pressure regime for stable propagation of an intense relativistic electron beam (I > 20 kA, W > 1.5 MeV, t > 20 ns) was determined and the beam-current density distribution was measured using an array of fast-response, subminiature Faraday cups. Experiments were performed on the stabilization of this pre-equilibrated beam when it was extracted into full-density air. (Author)
