Pushing the capture limit of thermionic gun linacs
Although accelerator technology has matured sufficiently, state-of-the-art x-ray linacs for radiotherapy and cargo-scanning capture merely 30%–50% of the electrons from a thermionic cathode, requiring a higher cathode current and leaving uncaptured electrons to cause problems such as back bombardmen...
