Method of Operating a Cold Cathode-Cold Reservoir Thyratron.

Abstract

This invention relates in particular to such a method using ZrVFe as the thyratron reservoir material. The general object of this invention is to provide a method of operating a cold-cathode-cold-reservoir thyratron for laser/radar and other systems employing high voltage and current pulses. A more particular object of the invention is to provide such a method using a suitable hydrogen thyratron reservoir material.
