CONCEPT OF ELECTRON SOURCE BASED ON PULSED PLASMA DISCHARGE. The lack of continuous electronbeam machine is electron current limitation and heating impact on target. So it is needed a new machine which will givehigher current in the pulsed mode operation. This paper offers on the possibility of pulsed plasma discharge as a pulseelectron source. By using simple equation, it can be achieved some interesting parameters such as plasma current,rise time etc. The result is useful as basic understanding in designing this machine.
