  Structural features of charged particle beams in electrostatic field are studied. Caustic types near the focal plane in accordance with the order of focusing have been established. Using computer simulation and beam structure analysis, focusing and energy-dispersive properties of a cylindrical mirror with facing electrodes are studied. Some electron-optical schemes of the mirror energy analyzer are proposed.
