Emergency power source for an ion vacuum pump

Emergency power source for an ion vacuum pump.

This note describes a simple high-voltage dc generator which serves as an emergency power source for an ion vacuum pump during power interruptions, or failure of the main supply.

Low - power magnetized microdischarge ion source

The authors report on the design and operation of a magnetized microdischarge ion source. The discharge is a coaxial E B configuration with a closed-electron drift. Conditions are selected such that the ions are nonmagnetized and the electrons strongly magnetized. The operating characteristics of this ion source are studied in the 10–40 W power range, generating a total ion current as high as 0...

An interchangeable-cathode vacuum arc plasma source.

A simplified vacuum arc design [based on metal vapor vacuum arc (MeVVA) concepts] is employed as a plasma source for a study of a (7)Be non-neutral plasma. The design includes a mechanism for interchanging the cathode source. Testing of the plasma source showed that it is capable of producing on the order of 10(12) charges at confinable energies using a boron-carbide disk as the cathode target....
