| Abstract | Electron linear accelerators are used as x-ray generators for diagnosing the human body. In this paper conceptual design of electron beam for compact electron gun was calculated by using EGN2w and CST-Particle Studio codes. The structure of the electron gun was used for Pierce and diode type and the specification of electron beam was selected as 500 cGy/min. Specifications of designed electron gun were focused on current, beam size and normalized emittance. Optimized beam current, diameter and normalized emittance are 226.88 mA, 0.689 mm (Full width) and 1.03π mm• mrad, respectively by using two simulation codes. Accuracy of simulation was verified by comparison of emitted beam current which has error of 0.74%. | |||||
