Abstract:

The unidirectionality of the ion current in a reflex tetrode has as a result the efficient generation of pulsed, ion beams. In this paper, experimental results are reported on the dependence of the ion generation efficiency, in a reflex tetrode, upon the applied voltage, total current, anode-anode and anode-cathode separations and applied magnetic field.
