Abstract :
Summary form only given. A 10-MA, 2-MV electron beam was transported over 10 cm in a nitrogen-filled drift tube at 3-10 torr with a transport efficiency of 90-100%. The transport was modeled using the three-dimensional beam propagation code IPROP, which includes a fully electromagnetic field solver, a particle-in-cell particle treatment, and a state-of-the-art air chemistry package. The net current and spatial profile of the transported beam were in good agreement with the code predictions, although the beam showed unpredicted filamentary fine structure
