ABSTRACT
The development of high-voltage pulse accelerating technology started in the 60s of the last century and by now has achieved significant success. Intensive use is made of high-current electronic accelerators (HCEA), which allow producing high-energy particles at a sufficiently high efficiency of energy transfer from the power source to the beam. Beams of relativistic electrons are used in developing new methods of acceleration, searching for ways to implement controlled thermonuclear fusion, and also for generating bremsstrahlung and microwave radiation. At the same time, the maximum electron energy in HCEA is limited by the electrical strength of the system with respect to the total accelerating voltage.
