Amplitude-time characteristics of runaway electron beams during the breakdown phase in high-pressure gases

Results of experimental studies of the amplitude-temporal characteristics of a supershort avalanche electron beam (SAEB) with a picosecond time resolution are presented. It is shown that the maximum SAEB current and the voltage drop in the gap are timed to tens of picoseconds and that the use of sha...

Description
Summary:Results of experimental studies of the amplitude-temporal characteristics of a supershort avalanche electron beam (SAEB) with a picosecond time resolution are presented. It is shown that the maximum SAEB current and the voltage drop in the gap are timed to tens of picoseconds and that the use of sharp-ended cathode improves the stability of SAEB generation.
