Abstract

This article presents the results of experimental studies of different modes of a runaway electron beam (RAEB) generation in high-pressure gases as well as X-rays caused by it. In particular, the mode with the greatest beam current amplitude, the one with two current pulses, that with the X-ray pulse duration of 100s ns, the mode in which a RAEB propagates in the direction opposite from an anode, and some others are described. The effect of the cathode design and material on the RAEB current amplitude and duration in atmospheric-pressure air is shown. When analyzing the most common modes, the features of the gap breakdown are used.
