A pseudospark (PS) discharge can generate an electron beam with a high current density.
The electron beam can be self-focused by an ion channel and transported over a long …

The experimental study of a tapered, multi-gap, multi-aperture pseudospark-sourced
electron gun based X-band plasma assisted slow wave oscillator is presented. The …

For high-power and compact sub-terahertz (THz) sources, a high-current electron beam is a
crucial component. In this article, a miniaturized sheet-electron-beam source has been …

We have recently proposed to combine the advantages of a pseudospark-sourced sheet
electron beam (PS-SEB) with a planar slow wave structure to generate high power terahertz …

The alignment within the required tolerance between components like electron beam
source, beam-wave interaction structure and spent beam collector is a major challenge in …

This paper reports the development of a sealed-off double-gap pseudospark switch and its
performance analysis. The modular pseudospark geometry has two gaps that are separated …

This paper deals with the investigation of the sealed-off cold-cathode thyratron
(pseudospark switch) with a trigger unit that uses a low-current auxiliary glow discharge. As …

Four different configurations of plasma cathode electron (PCE) guns have been designed
and developed in which pseudospark discharge concept has been used. Experimental …

Pseudospark (PS) discharge-based electron beam sources are capable of generating high
current density, high energy, high emittance, and high brightness self-focused electron …

In this article, a comparative experimental and simulations analysis has been carried out to
understand the role of tapered gap region on current density and energy of pseudospark …
