PENNING DISCHARGE

Domain	Definition
Aerospace	A direct-current discharge where electrons are forced to oscillate between two opposed cathodes and are restrained from going to the surrounding anode by the presence of a magnetic field.It is sometimes referred to as a pig discharge since the device was originally used as an ionization gage (Penning ionization gage). It is used as a plasma-beam source by permitting the plasma to stream out along the magnetic field through a hole in one of the cathodes. (references)
