Abstract

The research reported in three preceding papers is summarized. The photoelectron mechanism for the formation of electron beams in an open discharge with a grid anode is revised. Revision of the discharge mechanism also requires revision of the optimal conditions for its excitation. A new method for pumping lasers by beams of fast atoms formed in an open discharge with an inverted voltage is proposed.
