Abstract :
A medium power, repetitive electron beam generator has been designed and fabricated to enable the evaluation of a novel, large-area electron-transparent window. The test stand was developed to demonstrate the electron transparency and the thermal response of the window to an electron beam. The electron beam generator design is described in this article, and focuses on the electrical driver circuit and the electron gun, including external electron beam focusing elements.
