Based on the ion source discharging experiment in NT50 neutron generator
effect of magnetic field variation in Penning ion source on discharge current is studied. The relation curves of discharge current and changing magnetic fields are obtained. The data are analyzed to discover the role of ion source discharge. The prime working state and parameters of the ion source were determined to improve performance of the neutron generator.
