This paper presents a review of physical principles, design, and performances of plasma-
cathode direct current (dc) electron beam guns operated in so called fore-vacuum pressure …

Plasma technology is often referred to as one of the critical technologies of the twenty-first
century. In the developed countries such as the USA and Japan, intensive scientific effort …

Pseudospark (PS) discharge-based electron beam sources are capable of generating high
current density, high energy, high emittance, and high brightness self-focused electron …

In this paper, an experimental investigation of pseudospark discharge behaviors was
conducted under nanosecond pulsed voltages using a flexible discharge chamber. The …

During its conductive phase, a pseudospark discharge is able to generate a low energy
electron beam with a higher combined current density and brightness compared with …

In this paper, the results of the microfabrication, characterization, and cold-test study of the
previously proposed truncated sine-waveguide interaction structure with wideband-matched …

Pseudospark-sourced electron beam is a self-focused intense electron beam which can
propagate without any external focusing magnetic field. This electron beam can drive a …

X-ray emission has been achieved using an electron beam generated by a pseudospark low-
