Space Dynamics Laboratory and the Utah State University Physics Department have undertaken the development of a high power electron beam generator (EBG) that can be used to probe the coupling between the earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The EBG employs a field emission cathode array in a Pierce electrostatic gun field geometry for the generation of a 40 KV electron beam at emission currents as high as 50 mA. The EBG has been proposed as part of a novel magnetosphere-ionosphere field-line tracing technique that can use a well-collimated, field-aligned beam of electrons ejected into the magnetosphere to create detectable perturbations in the ionosphere. This presentation will review the current progress associated with the development of a flight-qualifiable EBG design.
