PIC-MCC analysis of electron multiplication in a cold-cathode Penning ion generator and its application to identify ignition voltage

A cold-cathode Penning ion generator (PIG) has been developed in our laboratory to study the interaction of charged particles with matter. The ignition voltage was measured in the presence of the axial magnetic field in the range of 460-580 G. The performed measurements with stainless steel cathodes...
