  • Abstract
    Methods have been developed for the analysis of sophisticated electron-collection systems. The electron beam is treated either by representing it by a finite number of supersized charge carriers or (providing that the angle of divergence of the beam is small) by using a modification of the paraxial-ray equation. The results are employed to obtain a quantitative estimate of the collector efficiency and the heat dissipation on the collector walls.
