It has been reported [1] that plasma acceleration by a electron beam results in a ion energy spectra that coincides with energy ion spectra of a pulsed vacuum discharges. Thus, one can assume that acceleration of plasma by electron beam is the basic plasma acceleration mechanism in a different types of a vacuum discharges. This work is devoted to examination the process of a plasma cloud expansion in a vacuum under different angles to electron beam direction. It was revealed that electrons and ions of a plasma cloud are being accelerated in a wide space angle (±60 degrees). Energies of a charged particles decrease with angle growth. Space angle of hydrogen ions expansion is larger than 60 degrees. Space angle of heavy ions expansion is less than 45 degrees.
Translated title of the contributionThe angle dependence of an ion flow parameters in a electron beam - plasma cloud acceleration process
