Thermionic beam is very inexpensive and simple to produce. In this work, we give an overview of generation, design and applications of the electron beam with particular reference to e-beam generation at high energy linear accelerators. Experimental data are presented in tabular form for ready reference. We also make an evaluation of these high energy sources with our in-house designed e-beam gun. Finally, a comparison has been presented in terms of characteristic parameters of all these high performance sources.展开更多

It refers to rocket-free methods of output objects into orbit. Space gun is not able to deliver the object in stationary orbit around the planet, for this, it must be equipped with a rocket engine to adjust the course after launch the object. This makes it possible to replace the existing excessively expensive rocket systems with new methods of delivering payload (space gun). Thus, the costs of scientific programs are decreasing at times, and many studies are becoming available, less risky and environmentally safer.展开更多
