This paper presents for the generation of a small size high current density pseudospark (PS)
electron beam for a high frequency (0.2 THz) Backward Wave Oscillator (BWO) through a …

A pseudospark (PS) discharge has been shown to be a promising source of high brightness,
high intensity electron beam pulses. A PS-sourced electron beam has two phases, an initial …

Experimental studies of the production and propagation of an electron beam from a multigap
pseudospark discharge are presented. From a three-gap pseudospark, a beam up to 680 A …

This paper reports the development of a sealed-off double-gap pseudospark switch and its
performance analysis. The modular pseudospark geometry has two gaps that are separated …

In this article, a trigger unit has been implemented to generate a high-current-density
electron beam from a pseudospark (PS) discharge-based electron gun. A trigger pulse …

Propagation and post-acceleration of a pseudospark-sourced electron beam from a three-
gap pseudospark discharge chamber were studied in recent experiments. The pseudospark …

In the present paper, a pseudospark discharge based multiple gap plasma cathode electron
gun is reported which has been operated separately in self and trigger breakdown modes …

Pseudospark (PS) discharge experiments to generate high-brightness electron beams have
been carried out at the Strathclyde University, Glasgow, UK The PS-sourced electron beam …

Used widely in microwave devices and material processing, triggered pseudospark
discharge can generate an electron beam, the adjustability of which is affected greatly by the …

In this paper, an investigation has been carried out for the analysis of peak electron current
at the anode surface in pseudospark discharge-based plasma cathode electron (PCE) …
