Vp. Degtyareva et al., COMPUTER STUDIES ON DYNAMICS OF ULTRASHORT ELECTRON PACKETS IN STREAKTUBES AND DIFFRACTOMETERS, Optical engineering, 37(8), 1998, pp. 2227-2232
Computer techniques and software are developed to study the dynamics o
f electron packets on a subpicosecond time scale in streak image tubes
and photoelectron diffractometers. It is shown that the Coulomb sprea
d of an electron packet substantially increases for a sufficiently nar
row energy distribution of photoelectrons, due to disintegrative space
charge effects inside the packet. (C) 1998 Society of Photo-Optical I
