Abstract
In electron guns, generating high-intensity beams comes with the cost of increasing the number of secondary ions produced by the residual gas ionization which can be a limiting factor in the cathode lifetime. However, it is often overlooked that the longitudinal potential generated by the beam can be the main factor influencing secondary ions to drift back toward the source and limit the maximum beam intensity. Using 3D simulations, this paper shows how the flux of trapped ions depends on the beam parameters. The results provide a practical framework that can be used as a guide in the design of the electron gun focal point to mitigate the ion back bombardment.

期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
