Abstract
The effect of the local electric field on the radial oscillation of the electron beam in the low-magnetic-field foilless diode is studied theoretically and experimentally. The results obtained with different methods show good coherence. The radial oscillation amplitude of the electron beam affected by the local electric field depends on the electric field intensity and the phases of electrons entering and leaving the local electric field region. It is found that the enhanced radial electric field near the drift tube head results in the change of the radial oscillation amplitude with the anode–cathode gap. Meanwhile, a method to effectively suppress the radial oscillation is proposed. Optimizing the anode–cathode gap and the tilt angle of the drift tube head can effectively adjust the matching state of the electron phase and the local electric field, and thus the transverse momentum of the electron beam can be greatly reduced due to the negative effect of the radial electric field.
