Abstract
The paper presents the results of a study undertaken to determine operating modes for a small-size direct-action electron accelerator with a high-efficiency nanosecond plasma-current switch (PCS). The investigations have shown that using PCS as a base it is possible to develop small-size nanosecond pulsed high-current electron accelerators with a voltage pulse sharpening coefficient of about 12, beam (flow) electron energy of 300…400 keV and current of 100 kA for pulse duration of 30 ns. The ways for improving the PCS and accelerator operating parameter stability, increasing the switching current and maximum accessible switching frequency are proposed.
