Classified abstracts 1140-1155 31 1140. Wide-angle internal deflection structures of cathode-ray tubes. (USA) Test results are described which were obtained with a test gun comprising two two-dimensional lenses and one rotationally symmetrical lens. Three deflection systems are compared as to their focusing properties. Another test gun design is described with which it is expected to demonstrate the deflection defocusing requirements.

A filament current regulator for solid source mass spectrometers. (Great Britain). A triple filament ion source has been used to study the temperature dependence of alkali ion emission. The side filaments serve merely as sample holders and are not electrically heated. Neutral particles, volatilized by radiation from the hot central filament, are ionized on impact with the hot metal surface. The ion beam intensity can be conveniently related to the ionizing filament current by a simple power law whose exponent varies for different alkali compounds.

(Holland) A high counting rate Lyman-alpha photon proportional counter with a sensitivity of 20-25 per cent is described which uses a photoelectron suppressor grid. The construction of the counter and the filling procedure is described. Before filling the counter was evacuated to 10-5 torr and heated for several hours to 160°C.

(USA) The Naval Ordnance Laboratories 2.5 MeV Van de Graaff positiveion accelerator is described. This machine was originally a 2 MeV x-ray generator. The design of the present facility and technical problems connected with conversion and updating of the machine are discussed, instructions are given for its operation and maintenance.

(USA) The design and testing of a thin-window proportional counter tube are described. The objective of this investigation was the development of a component suitable for use in space experiments involving the detection of x-rays from light elements. In a series of tests, it was determined that 0.25 mil aluminium-coated Mylar, supported by a nickel screen, provided maximum strength with minimum absorption. Two methods of sealing the window are described: an o-ring and a potting compound.

33 1147. Peculiarities of a radiofrequency source of negative hydrogen ions in a charge-exchange proton injector. (USSR) A negative ion source based on extraction of ions from an rf discharge in hydrogen, is described. 10 pA current of negative hydrogen ions were obtained at an extraction rate of only 10 to 15 cma/hour.

(USSR) A system manufactured by SZEMiE Factories, Suma, USSR, is described. The electronograph with an accelerating voltage of 40 to 60 kV operates at 5 × 10 -5 torr, obtained by means of oil diffusion pump N-5S with a booster pump N-005 and mechanical pump RVN-20, and measured by combined vacuum gauge VIT-3.

(USSR) Hydrogen was dissolved in titanium at 1200°C in hydrogen atmosphere of 300 torr. The titanium was then irradiated by pulse of laser light. At a distance of 30 mm from the substrate, a pulse of atomic hydrogen, with a density of 10TM at/cm 2, was obtained. The pulse contained about 20 per cent of Ha and Ti ions and atoms, but no hydrogen ions were observed.
