Abstract
Hollow cathodes, either single or multichannel, are considered now as highcurrent extensive lifetime electron emitters in different discharge devices, Despitie the amount of works some physical processes inside hollow cathodes are still poorly understood /I/. It is caused by difficulties of detailed diagnostics of the cavity plasma in the conventional high-temperature hollow cathodes /2/.
