Collective acceleration of xenon ions in a plasma-anode vircator

The collective acceleration of xenon ions in a plasma-anode vircator is studied. It is shown that the energy of accelerated ions may reach 900 MeV. The image of a bremsstrahlung source on the target suggests effective transport of relativistic electrons in the drift channel.
