title = "An empirical approach to pressure modeling in hollow cathodes",
abstract = "An empirical relationship for the total pressure inside thermionic, orificed hollow cathodes is presented. The total pressure inside hollow cathodes is necessary for analytical models of the insert region and insert lifetime calculations. Based on a database of existing cathodes, an empirical relationship for the total pressure as a function of cathode operational parameters is derived using a non-dimensional power-law fit to experimental data. The proposed relationship agrees well with experimental data and provides a framework for evaluating future analytical models.",
