Pulse shaping for optimal energy deposition with a cold cathode electron gun for surface treatment

A pulse-forming network is added in the discharge circuit of a cold-cathode electron gun that gives rise to an improved shape of the pulse, making it closer to the ideal square pulse needed for optimal energy deposition in material surface treatments. It is shown that the circuit can be very accurat...
