The effect of high fields produced during space–charge neutralization of an electron beam is demonstrated by production of relativistic electrons (≈0.6 MeV) from a simple, small hollow cathode source operated at 20 kV. Acceleration occurs during a well-characterized, repeatable, glow-type transient plasma phase. The accelerating electron beam is produced within the device, and the total number of (approximately-greater-than)0.5 MeV electrons is estimated to be ≤1010. A model correlating time dependence of the transient plasma with energetic electron production is discussed. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
