  • Abstract
    A multiplier tube capable of producing output currents greater than one ampere has been constructed. In order to produce high electrical fields at the surfaces of the dynodes a design utilizing an accelerating grid near the surface of each dynode was chosen. A space charge limited current of 1.2 to 1.3 amperes was obtained using 400 volts between each dynode and accelerating grid.
