On the Theory of Compensated Bipolar Beams

Resumo

One-dimensional flows of charged particles with opposite charge signs moving in the same direction are investigated, including an electron diode (or a diode with negative ions) shot by positive ions and an ion diode pierced by relativistic electrons. Variants with different degrees of space charge compensation at the diode output and the case of full charge, current, and magnetic-field (electromagnetic) compensation are discussed.
