Energy recovery and power stabilization of pulsed electron beams in Marx generator circuits

A possibility of increasing the electron beam pulse duration and current in accelerators fed from the capacitive storage systems with the electron-beam energy recovery is described. A simple scheme for correction of the pulse shape of the generator voltage allows keeping in a quasi-constant level of the voltage on the acceleration tube for the pulse time, thus stabilizing the beam parameters: energy, current, and power. The experimental results are given.
