Abstract
The characteristics of an IMA3-150É sealed-off vacuum diode connected to a RADAN-220 nanosecond pulser are investigated. It is found that the electron beam behind the foil contains electrons with an energy exceeding the voltage applied to the diode. It is shown that the elevated-energy electrons appear at the leading edge of a current pulse, the FWHM of the current pulse of these electrons is 200–450 ps, and the pulse amplitude reaches several tens of amperes.
