Abstract
A two-dimensional electron transport model is used to study relativistic electron-beam (REB) deposition in thin metal anodes in the presence of strong, macroscopic electric and magnetic fields. Enhancement in power per mass deposited is calculated under certain conditions for high-current beams, which has important implications for REB fusion. Requirements for enhanced deposition are discussed, and a possible diode design is given.Keywords
