Abstract

We present results of experimental studies of plasma generation in a long, narrow metal tube by electron beam injection into the tube and simultaneous application of a negative potential to the tube. We show that the threshold electron beam current for plasma initiation increases with decreasing pressure, decreasing tube diameter, and increasingly negative tube potential.
