    Abstract: In a thyratron gas discharge device, magnetic material is located coaxially with the anode to produce a magnetic field between the anode and cathode which is substantially parallel to a discharge established between them. This causes electrons emitted from the cathode to have longer path lengths than would otherwise be the case and so the ionization density within the device is increased. This improved this operating characteristics of the thyratron and results in greater utilization of the cathode.

    Abstract: A structure associated with a ceramic envelope gas filled electron tube whereby a series of concentric holes are formed through grid radiator rings which thus simulates the outer neutral gas region of a typical glass envelope tube structure. In this manner, one has created a neutral non-ionized gas flow path which shunts the main discharge in such a thyratron and which is contained within the metal internal axial structure. The apertures, as formed in the grid radiator rings, thereby provide a source path for neutral molecular hydrogen from the gas reservoir located at the base of the tube to allow the gas to be directed to the anode/grid region of the tube, where electrons are pumped and the gas is collisionally ionized. The effect serves to enhance the maximum thyratron operating frequency by allowing cool neutral gas molecules to flow into the gap region through the parallel path and then into the discharge volume of the ceramic thyratron tube. Thus, the use of such structure provides an increased maximum conduction current rating and, therefore, a greater switching capability for a ceramic gas filled tube.
