  • Abstract
    A new probing technique has been employed to determine the ion density trapped by the potential well of an electron beam as used in microwave tubes, and unexpectedly high values of ionic charge have been found on the axis, the strong space-charge fields of which are neutralised by slow secondary electrons.
