Abstract
The characteristics of a beam generated by a ''hollow cathode'' gun, i ntended for electron cooling purposes, are thoroughly investigated. At tention was focused on the details of the current density and temperat ure distributions across the electron beam. Consequently a high qualit y beam was obtained, comparable with the beams generated by standard g uns. Much insight was gained on the vacuum and alignment conditions fo r this new configuration.
