DURING TUBE PROCESSING THE MASK SORBS A SELECTED INTRODUCED GAS SUCH AS HYDROGEN. ELECTRON BEAM IMPINGEMENT OF THE MASK DURING SUBSEQUENT TUBE OPERATION EFFECTS GRADUAL RELEASE OF THE OCCLUDED SELECTED GAS FROM THE MASK TO PROVIDE A REPLENISHABLE PARTIAL PRESSURE OF HYDROGEN WHICH IN RELATION TO THE TOTAL TUBE PRESSURE IS CONSISTENT FOR THE PROMOTION OF ENHANCED EMISSION AND EXTENDED TUBE LIFE.
