Description

A method is described whereby a beam of positive hydrogen ions incident at grazing angles on an array of cesium-covered tungsten foils is used to produce H0 and H- particles by negative surface ionization. The results of these experiments indicate that the method can provide diagnostic beams of particles to hot plasmas and can also energy-analyze charge exchange neutrals emerging from hot plasmas
