Abstract: The main effects determining the efficiency of cascade dispersion of metal drops continuously charged in an electron beam are theoretically analyzed. A hierarchy of the characteristic times of charging, deformation, and dispersion of drops is established. Experimental data show that the distribution of particle sizes is multimodal and consists of three separate peaks corresponding to various steps of the process of cascade dispersion. This character of distribution agrees well with predictions of theoretical analysis.
