The Operation of an Electron-Bombardment Ion Source with Various GasesThe efficiency of the electron-bombardment thrustor is approaching the maximum that can be expected. Desired lifetimes (of the order of 10,000 hr) have not yet been reached, but present knowledge indicates such lifetimes should be obtainable, The simplicity of this thrustor makes it interesting as an ion source for various laboratory experiments. Various gases have been used to determine the ion-chamber and accelerator performance for such applications.
