We report results on the generation of a large-cross-section (about 170 cm(2)) high-current (about 1000A) uniform electron beam by a hollow anode (HA) plasma source at a pressure of approximately 8 x 10(-5) Torr, in a diode with an accelerating pulse of 300 kV and approximately 300 ns duration. The HA discharge was sustained for about 10 mu s by seven Ba-Ti-based ferroelectric plasma sources. The resistive decoupling of each plasma source produces a uniform plasma density distribution at the HA output grid at a discharge current of not more than 1000 A. It was found that the HA plasma is characterized by a density of about 10(12) cm(-3). an electron temperature of approximately 8 eV and a group of fast electrons with an energy of about 50 eV. It was shown that an increase in the HA output grid potential allows the plasma prefilling of the accelerating gap to be reduced significantly.
