Abstract
An investigation, in connection with work on a direct electron printing tube, has been made on electron beam transmission through a thin nickel target into atmosphere. Comparison with vacuum-to-vacuum transmission measurements indicates that electron multiplication occurs and that such a system can provide a tool for studying ionization processes, as well as act as an ion source.
