Abstract: A PIC code was used to simulate the formation of a chain of several virtual cathodes in a conical drift tube with its diameter increasing in the direction of motion of the electron beam. Their spatiotemporal dynamics was calculated.

Keywords: electron beam, drift tube, cone, virtual cathode.
