OSTI ID:4150773

A calutron ion source was designed which is comprised of an arc chamber into which electrons are fed by an electron-emissive arc cathcde and into which the gaseous material to be separated is fed at a plurality of places. Control of the electron feed is achieved by varying the potentials of three points of the cathode connected to a source of current. (D.L.C.)
