The Effect of Working Distance on Beam Scatter

As the working distance gets longer, beam scatter increases. The value in the upper left corner of each model is the working distance. The value in the upper right corner is the effective beam diameter in microns.

All four models were run in air at 1 TORR chamber pressure with an accelerating voltage of 20 kV.
