Abstract :
I GNITRON TUBES have been successfully applied as switching elements to supply current pulses to the magnet coil of particle accelerator equipments. Applications involve current pulses having crest amplitudes of 5 to 30 kiloamperes, durations of 1/120 to 1/1,200 second, repetition rates of 6 to 60 per second, and supply voltages up to 20 kv.
