Abstract
A 250 - 400 kV, 80 kA, 30 ns electron beam generator has been developed. The machine consists of a 600 kV Marx generator, a water-dielectric transmission line, a diode, and a beam drift chamber. It was necessary to minimize prepulse for stable diode operation. Several cathodes were tested during development and results are reported. Diodes with 26 and 8 nH inductance are described.
