FIELD: electrical engineering, applicable in accelerating equipment, in particular, in accelerating gas-filled tubes of neutron generators. ^ SUBSTANCE: the gas-discharge ion source has an anode and a non-heater cathode that is made in the form of a cylindrical winding of conducting material with a layer with a high secondary ion-electron emission ratio located on its surface, the cathode end is positioned in the gas-discharge chamber of the ion source and may be made of an aluminum band or foil. ^ EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of ion sources. ^ 2 cl, 2 dwg |
