Direct Measurement of the Energy Distribution of an Intense Relativistic Electron Beam

Masayuki Kawai, Yoshiyuki Kawamura¹ and Koichi Toyoda¹

(Received March 16, 1985; accepted for publication July 20, 1985)

The energy distribution of an intense relativistic electron beam (IREB) having a voltage of ≈0.75 MV, a current of 23 kA, and a duration of 30 ns was investigated using a magnetic-deflection-type energy analyzer. The IREB was found to have an exponential distribution with a sharp discontinuity at the maximum energy and a gradual decay toward lower energy. The energy spread was 6% of the maximum energy.
