【Abstract】 The new generation CT system requires multiple electron sources to replace original mechanical structure. This article describes the physical design, manufacturing and emission performance testing of a grid-controlled thermionic cathode gun for such use. The emission current of the gun is designed to be higher than 100 mA with a pulse width of 100 μs and a repetition frequency of 100 Hz. The test uses a DC power supply which can provide 1.8 kV anode voltage and a grid power supply with adjustable voltage range of-60 to 200 V. Computational simulation and optimization have been carried out at the design stage, including electron gun structural design and thermal design. This paper presents the emission test results and operating conditions of the electron gun. In the test, the emission current density of the thermionic cathode is higher than 9.04 A/cm~2 and the emission current of electron gun is higher than 490 mA. The basic test results show that the prepared electron gun fully meets the technical requirements in the design, manufacturing and operation.更多还原
