A description is given of a valve suitable for use in studies involving the acceleration of plasmas into regions of high vacua. Valve opening durations of less than 60 μsec may be attained, and amounts of gas lower than 0.01 cc STP may be introduced. Valve performance characteristics and measuring techniques are discussed.
