Electron gun simulation with CST PARTICLE STUDIO

This paper introduces CST PARTICLE STUDIOTMTM, a specialist tool for the fast and accurate design and analysis of 3D electron guns. The new software is based on the multi-purpose electromagnetic solvers of the CST STUDIO family and incorporates their powerful modelling capabilities as well as successful algorithms of the MAFIA-TS simulators. The underlying theory of the PBA®® based field solvers and the used tracking technique is presented and some examples of application demonstrate the current status of the software.
