Power flow in a 7-cavity fast-rise LTD system

Particle-in-cell simulations of a seven-cavity linear transformer device system are carried out to assess, in part, the evolution of the electron power flow in negative polarity and the impact of this flow on the operation of the system with simple large-area hollow electron beam diode loads.
