Space Charge Neutralization by Fission Fragments in the Direct Conversion Plasma Diode

Journal Article · · Journal of Applied Physics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1735113· OSTI ID:4198367
Calculations are presented which show that fission fragments can produce a partial plasma in a noble gns and that the resistivity (4ohm-cm) of the gas could be low enough to operate the system as a direct conversion plasma diode.
