Abstract

Hot electrons are produced, guided into a beam, and transported over 60 microm in a small canal to the outside tip of a structured cone target. The diameter of the electron beam is defined by the inside tip diameter. This carries the potential to create electron beams of specific diameters propagating over specific distances of interest for several applications.
