Cryogenic cooling reduces high voltage arcing between electrodes operating in a vacuum

Abstract

Cooling to a temperature of approximately liquid nitrogen or lower, reduces arcing, or high voltage breakdown, between two closely spaced electrodes operating in a vacuum. This cooling technique can be applied to electrodes having other than hemispherical shapes.
