Abstract :
Cold cathode plasma electron beam sources are robust alternatives to hot filaments and field emission sources. In applications requiring pressures above 1 mtorr or reactive gas backgrounds, cold cathode plasma sources can produce high-power electron beams while also exhibiting long lifetimes. The images presented here are produced by electron beams extracted from cold cathode plasmas.
