Abstract

Sheet electron beam device has the potential for high-power millimeter wave to terahertz regime radiation. A key part of this system is a high current sheet electron beam source. This paper introduces our currently ongoing program on producing high current, high aspect ratio sheet electron beam with compact, repetitive 160KV generator. In our experimental, a cathode which looks like a blade and a slit anode is fabricated. High current sheet electron beam is transported in a solenoid. Here we report the experimental demonstration.
