Abstract (en)

[origin: US2005012441A1] In a channel spark source triggered by gas discharge for generating a stable focused electron beam, a gas supply for a hollow cathode thereof is provided which generates in the hollow cathode a pressure differential so that the multiplication of charge carriers in a trigger plasma of a trigger plasma source connected to the hollow cathode provides for a reliable gas discharge and the formation of a stable electron beam which exits the arrangement and which does not damage the internal passages of the arrangement.
