  • Abstract
    The standard paraxial ray equation method [1] for the design of electrodes for an electrostatically focused gun is extended to include relativistic effects and the effects of the beam´s azimuthal megnetic field. Solutions for parallel and converging beams are obtained and the predicted currents are compared against those measured on the High Brightness Test Stand [2].
