ABSTRACT
The dependence of energetic efficiency of triode high voltage glow discharge electron sources on the accelerating voltage, control voltage, reduced pressure in discharge gap, as well as on geometry parameters of the electrodes system, with the use of means of mathematical modelling has been investigated in the article. It is shown, that the energetic efficiency is strongly increased with increasing the voltage on the driving electrode, and this fact allows controlling the power of the formed electron beam with stable pressure in the discharge gap.
KEYWORDS
electron-beam technology, high voltage glow discharge, electron sources triode, anode plasma, electrode system.
