  • Abstract
    A digital computer program for the simulation of crossed-field electron guns is described. The program simulates the electrodes and fields within the gun on a matrix of up to 10 000 points. The program, written in FORTRAN II for the IBM 7090, is generally executed in six minutes or less. It is shown to produce results within four percent of theory and experiment for two different cases.
