Discrete mathematical model of a sheet electron beam in a decaying magnetic field

Abstract

A discrete model of a sheet electron beam is developed in a weakly relativistic approximation. A 3D simulation of the sheet electron beam with cyclotron rotation in an axially symmetric static magnetic field under time-periodic conditions of entry is performed. The velocity spread in the beam and the efficiency of converting the energy stored in the beam into DC power depending on the beam perveance are calculated.
