A Vacuum Apparatus for Investigating Cathode Activity and Beam Formation in High Current Density Electron Guns

Abstract

The Lambda Physics LPX 210 excimer laser is currently being installed in the oxide cathode laboratory. Its primary purpose is to produce a plasma that is deposited on a nickel cathode base. In this capacity it replaces a completely unreliable vacuum arc plasma gun. The laser will be used to produce emission coatings for high performance oxide cathodes.
