This paper describes a new type of electron and ion source under low gas pressure. Pulsed electron beams with a current density greater than 106A/cm2 with total current up to several hundred amperes and pulsed ion beams of the order of amperes were produced by this device. A model of the field escalation effect is proposed to explain the discharge mechanism in the multiplate chamber. It is expected that this device may have a lot of applications .
