Abstract :
This paper discusses various procedures for optimization of electron guns as well as multistage depressed collectors. The MICHELLE code has been interfaced to the ANALYST analysis package, which provides comprehensive support for finite-element electromagnetic analysis, including embedded computer-aided design (CAD) software, automated meshing, and both visual and numerical result processing.
