Intense Ion Beam Generation with an Inverse Reflex Tetrode (IRT).

Abstract

A new reflexing electron ion source is described. The device produces a unidirectional ion beam with relatively high efficiency even when the applied magnetic field exceeds the self field. This new source operates at a low, constant impedance during much of the applied voltage pulse and is better matched to available high-power, low impedance generators than previous reflexing electron devices.
