Abstract
A mathematical model of a high-voltage electron source with a secondary-emission cathode and anodic plasma is constructed. Nitrogen is used as the working gas. The model is based on a kinetic description of the physical processes in the source, approximations of elementary-process cross-sections are given, and calculations are performed in the 2.5-400-kV range. The need to allow for charge exchange and the reflection of fast heavy particles from the cathode is shown.
