Abstract
This paper describes indicators that can be used to monitor the operating mode of a pyroelectric accelerator. It is shown that the ratio of the characteristic X-ray emission lines from the target and the vacuum chamber walls is very sensitive to the state of the accelerator. Also, the peak to total count rate ratio in the electron spectrum exhibits similar properties. These parameters change sharply ahead of the electric breakdown and are very sensitive to the residual gas pressure level. Monitoring these indicators during the accelerator operation provides a fine tool aiding the implementation of pyroelectric technology for stable and reliable charged particle generation and acceleration.
