Abstract The study of the time behavior of a current pulse of an electron beam generated during a high-voltage nanosecond discharge in gas-filled and vacuum diodes has been carried out. As follows from the experimental results, in both cases, the distribution of the beam current density in the plane of a grounded anode is non-uniform. The highest beam current density is recorded in the axial part of the anode. It was established that in the case of a gas-filled diode, ~ 2 ns after the onset of the beam current pulse, its shape in the axial anode zone changes relative to that in the peripheral one. It is assumed that the most probable reason for this is the effect of compensation of the charge of the beam electrons by the positive charge of ions arising in the ionization process in the paraxial zone.

The analysis of the envelope equation for high-current relativistic electron beam propagation in plasma in an external uniform magnetic field is presented. The envelope equation is obtained in a Hamiltonian form with an effective potential, which depends from electron beam and plasma parameters, and external magnetic field. Hamiltonian aproach allows fully analyze the behavior of the beam envelope as a function of the beam current, beam energy, plasma density and conductivity, as well as on the external magnetic field and the initial beam angular momentum.

Abstract The article presents the results of studies devoted to the study of the energy density distribution in the amplitude-modulated regime of electron beam generation. It is shown that in the first ≈ 50 μs of the duration of the beam current pulse, its spatial rearrangement occurs, due to the development of the arc discharge current. Thus, the rearrangement of the arc current, which develops from the axis of the system, leads to an axial diving of the emission current density and the beam current density on the target. With the development of the arc current, the energy density on the target on the axis of the system decreases and after ≈ 50 μs takes on a steady-state value, which can change only as a result of a change in the conditions for generating an electron beam or the transition to a modulated regime of electron beam generation. It has been experimentally shown using calorimetric measurements that the shape of the electron beam current pulse with its amplitude modulation with a pulse duration of more than 100 μs has little effect on the distribution of the beam energy density in the target region.

The numerical simulation method has been applied to investigate the characteristics of radiation from the sequence of two or three virtual cathodes (VC) which are formed in the magnetized plane relativistic electron beam. Between such VC the electric field and beam current feedbacks occur. The spectral electromagnetic radiation characteristics of different vircator configurations and their dependences on the current density and beam energy spread are determined.
