Investigation of electron-ion optics of pulse technological glow discharge electron guns

Abstract

This paper is devoted to theoretical and experimental analyze of self-maintained electron-ion optics of pulse high voltage glow discharge electron guns, which are an advanced instruments to using in modern production. Theoretical analyze is based on solving of equation of particles balance in anode plasma, as well as on defining of plasma boundary form and position by computer analyze of discharge photographs with using image recognizing technique. Experimental investigations have been provided for designed pilot model of electron gun.
