The characteristics of the electron beam generated by the magnetron gun are studied. The experiments were carried out with magnetron guns with secondary emission cathodes (cathode diameter 2 and 3 mm, anode diameter 15 and 50 mm) at the cathode voltage of 8…50 kV. The magnetic fields were created bo...
