Abstract Electron accelerators are made of different parts and one of the main part of every electron accelerator is its electron gun. In this article a diode electron gun is designed and simulated for a 1MeV parallel feed Cockcroft-Walton accelerator for industrial applications. The pierce configuration is selected for focusing electrode. Simulations are carried out using CST Particle Studio. The gun is thermionic with indirect heating of spherical dispenser cathode that is made from porous tungsten which is impregnated with barium compounds. The gun maximum achievable current is 200 mA at 10 kV and required current in our accelerator is about 100 mA.
