THE ION MAGNETRON
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4274613
The ion magnetron is an experiment in which a plasma is created in a geometry similar to that of the well-known electron magnetron tube. An electron sheath forms about the central anode, and most of the appliedvoltage drop occurs in this sheath region. Ionization of neutral molecules in the sheath provides an irreversible mechanism for injecting high-energy ions into the containment region. Experimental observations on the device are described, followed by a short discussion of some of the processes involved in its operation. (auth)
