Abstract

The development of beam-plasma discharges in HF generators, which is accompanied by efficiency enhancement due to plasma presence together with the undesirable effect of electron gun cathode destruction, is investigated. Plasma production processes during beam-plasma discharge in HF-devices at low (about 100 W of beam power) and high (above 100 kW of beam power) power levels are considered
