Abstract

The results of experimental study of electron beam plasma inside the dielectric tube are presented. Beam plasma was generated by the fore-vacuum plasma electron source at (2-10) Pa in dc mode. It is shown, that the dependence of the plasma potential on gas pressure inside the tube is completely different in comparison with similar dependence without a tube. Monotonic dependence of the insulated beam col-lector potential in the tube on beam energy has two stages: slow and fast growth.
