  • Abstract
    The fundamental processes underlying the role of the cathode in the cold cathode glow discharge are discussed. Quantitative investigations of the cold field induced emission have been made and the mechanism investigated. This is the process which underlies the statistical time-lag in a cold cathode tube.
