ABSTRACT:
A device for starting and maintaining a discharge which is placed within an enclosure. The enclosure contains a discharge zone confined by an electromagnetic field. The device has a microtip electron source located in the vicinity of the discharge zone. The electron source is polarized in such a way that it emits electrons to the discharge zone in order to start and maintain the discharge. The device can be used in a cold cathode vacuum gauge.
