Abstract

A valve for producing high-intensity gas pulses with a duration of 30–150 μs at half-height and a high rate of pulse rise is described. The valve is used as a component of a cluster-beam source. It operates at frequencies of up to 10 Hz and produces little noise, as its control currents do not exceed several amperes. The valve meets the requirements imposed by the experimental procedure and can operate over a wide temperature range and in a hostile environment.
