  • Abstract
    A two-dimensional self-consistent computer-aided CFA gun analysis program is discussed which can be used to solve for the characteristics of "long" crossed-field guns with arbitrary electrode shapes and including the effects of space charge. The results of analyzing a "long" Kino gun show excellent agreement between the theoretical gun parameters and those obtained by the computer analysis. The model shows promise of also being useful in the analysis of noise in CFA guns.
