Abstract
A review of investigations on generation and transport of pulsed intense electron beams of microsecond duration is presented. For production of the beams multipoint explosive emission cathodes are used. The cathode design allows to produce homogeneous and stable plasma layers of different geometry with an area of up to 104 cm2. By using the multipoint cathodes planar, cylindrical, tubular and radial electron beams were produced. Investigation of the electron beams generation, transport in vacuum and interaction with different target materials are described. Examples of microsecond intense electron beams applications are given.
