Abstract
Earlier results have shown that a plasma window can effectively separate va cuum from a pressure of close to 3 atm. Present results indicate that a pla sma window enhanced by a venturi facilitates a rather effective vacuum sepa ration from a 9 atm gas target. Utilization of the plasma are as the window for gas targets removes all of the limitations on beam current, energy, an d energy focusing imposed by solid windows, Various applications and the ne w results are discussed.
