Abstract
Experimental results are reported which show that the backward-directed (and unusable) ion current in a reflex triode can be almost completely suppressed by adding a second anode, made of aluminized Mylar, 0.5 cm from the existing polyethylene anode. Proton-generation efficiencies in excess of 50% have been obtained.Keywords
