Solution of regular beam equations in arbitrary emission conditions on a curvilinear surface

The regular beam equations are solved analytically for the case of emission from an arbitrary surface in conditions of total space charge (-mode) and in a given external magnetic field H (§2) for temperature-limited emission (T-mode), in an external magnetic field H (§3); and for emission with nonzero initial velocity (§4). The emitter is taken as the coordinate surface x¹=0 in an orthogonal system x¹ (i = =1,2,3), while the current density J and field on it are given functions j(x², x³), (x², x³. The solution is written as series in (x¹) with coefficients dependent on x², x³, determined from recurrence relations. For emission in the -mode and H 0, =1/3; for temperature-limited emission, =1/2; with nonzero initial velocity, =1. The results are extended to the case of a beam in the presence of a moving background of uniform density (5).
