Abstract
In the course of the last decade, IOM Leipzig has developed low-energy elec tron accelerators for electron beam curing of polymer coatings and printing inks. In order to optimize the electron irradiation field, electron optica l calculations have been carried out using the commercially available EGUN code. The present study outlines the design of the diode-type low-energy el ectron accelerators LEA and EBOGEN, taking into account the electron optica l effects of secondary components such as the retaining rods installed in t he cathode assembly.
