Abstract
A technique for determining the amplitude and time parameters of pulsed electron beams is proposed. Using this technique, it is possible to measure weak currents. It is based on the non-self-sustained discharge initiated by the electron beam under investigation. The experimental results are presented for two electron beams formed in a gas-filled diode at the atmospheric pressure of air, nitrogen, a mixture of CO2 : N2 : He = 1 : 1 : 3, or helium and ejected through a foil or grid.
