A Vacuum Tube for an Electrostatic Accelerator (open access)

A Vacuum Tube for an Electrostatic Accelerator

The purpose of this study has been to design a prototype accelerating tube, to determine the correct point shape and spacing needed to produce corona current along the tube for the case of negative-point-to-positive-plane discharge, and to study the voltage-gradient characteristics of short sections of the tube when they were evacuated to a low internal pressure.
