| Abstract |
Irradiation of electrostatic dust filters with x-rays can be used as a means of studying the charged state of these filters. Cavity theory is used to determine the relationship between ion production in the cavities and that in free air. An experimental method is propsed to check the validity of the calculations based on cavity theory and the results of experimental tests reported. Reasonable agreement is found between theoretical predictions and experimental results and the need for the use of an extended cavity theory is clearly demonstrated. |
