Journal ArticleDOI
F.M. Penning1, J.H.A. Moubis1
TL;DR: In this article, a discharge tube was described for the excitation of neutrons by bombardment of a (Zr-D)-target with D 2 -ions, which was used as ion-source, at a pressure of only 10 −3 mm (and a potential difference of a few kV), so that no pumping is needed between the ion source and the part of the tube where the ions are accelerated.
