Electron beam projector with linear thermal cathode

Abstract

An electron beam projector with a linear thermal cathode (7) for electron beam heating consists of a beam guide (1) which comprises a deflecting electromagnetic system (2) and accommodates an accelerating anode (3) fixed on it by a posts (10), where anode is connected by a high-voltage insulators (4) through a cathode plate (5) to a cathode assembly (6), that includes the linear thermal cathode (7) fastened in a cathode holders (8), and a focusing electrode (9). The accelerating anode (3) comprises a plate (11) rigidly fastened to it for hermetical separation of the cathode (7) and the beam guide (1) parts of the projector, wherein the common optical axis of a cathode assembly (6) and the accelerating anode (3) is deflected from a beam guide optical axis by an angle a that is equal to 10÷30°.
