Studies of ion-beam-generation efficiency with reflex tetrodes

Abstract
The unidirectionality of the ion current ina reflex tetrode has a result the efficient generation of pulsed ion beams. In this paper, experimental results are reported on the dependence of the ion‐generation efficiency, in a reflex tetrode, upon the applied voltage, total current, anode‐anode and anode‐cathode separations, applied magnetic field.
