About some characteristics and industrial application of ion beams generated in an abnormal glow discharge with a liquid dielectric anode

Feasibility of generating ion beams with energy of keV and high enough density (more than 1mA per cm²) in abnormal glow discharges has been previously based physically. The results of investigations of radial distribution of the ion beam density with the help of a designed polycylindrical collector are presented. The features of the current density distribution for a single and multipoint current input-emitter are discussed.
