Abstract
An electron gun that generates multiple electron bunches and the application of this gun to produce rf energy. The electron gun includes an rf input cavity having a first side with multiple emitting surfaces and a second side with multiple transmitting and emitting sections. The gun also includes a mechanism for producing a rotating and oscillating force which encompasses the multiple emitting surfaces and the multiple sections so electrons are directed between the multiple emitting surfaces and the multiple sections to contact the multiple emitting surfaces and generate additional electrons and to contact the multiple sections to generate additional electrons or escape the cavity through the multiple sections. A method for producing multiple electron bunches.
Claims7
An electron gun comprising:
- an rf cavity having a first side with multiple emitting surfaces and a second side with multiple transmitting and emitting sections, the corresponding multiple sections include transmitting and emitting double grids through which electrons escape and additional electrons are generated;
- and
- a mechanism for producing a rotating and oscillating force in a TM110 rotating mode which encompasses the multiple emitting surfaces and the multiple sections so electrons are directed between the respective multiple emitting surfaces and the corresponding multiple sections to contact the respective multiple emitting surfaces and generate additional electrons and to contact the corresponding multiple sections to generate additional electrons or escape the cavity through the corresponding multiple sections.
A method for producing electrons comprising the steps of:
- moving a first electron in a first direction in an rf cavity subject to a TM110 rotating mode;
- moving at least a second electron in the first direction at a second time in the rf cavity subject to the TM110 rotating mode;
- striking a first transmitting and emitting double grid with the first electron;
- producing additional electrons at the first transmitting and emitting double grid due to the first electron;
- moving the additional electrons from the first transmitting and emitting double grid to a second transmitting and emitting double grid in the rf cavity subject to the TM110 rotating mode;
- transmitting the additional electrons through the second transmitting and emitting double grid and creating more electrons due to electrons from the first transmitting and emitting double grid striking the second area;
- striking a third transmitting and emitting double grid with the second electron;
- producing additional electrons at the third transmitting and emitting double grid due to the second electrons;
- moving electrons from the third transmitting and emitting double grid to a fourth transmitting and emitting double grid in the if cavity subject to the TM110 rotating mode;
- and
- transmitting electrons through the fourth transmitting and emitting double grid and creating more electrons due to electrons from the third transmitting and emitting double grid striking the fourth transmitting and emitting double grid.
