  This paper describes work done at Colorado State University to improve upon the recent theory developed to predict the back-bombardment power in single-cell thermionic-cathode electron guns. The previous theory used a square-wave approximation of the time varying field to solve for the total kinetic energy deposited on the cathode due to the back-bombarded electrons. In addition the transit time factor was added as a correction to compensate for the non-sinusoidal field. By solving for the back-bombardment power using a sinusoidal field, the transit time factor can be removed and therefore a better overall model is produced. These alterations continue to accurately predict how back-bombardment varies as a function of the gun parameters and provides improvement when compared to the existing theory.
