Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study on the generation of multiply charged ions in the plasma of a vacuum arc discharge. The average charge of ions in the plasma is increased by using a strong magnetic field, a current “burst,” or an accelerated electron beam. The results of measurements of the ion charge distribution for each case are reported.
