Role of multistep collision processes in increasing the beam stopping cross section for high energy neutral beams

  • 1. Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544

Description

We have found that multistep processes involving excited atomic states can substantially increase the stopping cross section for a neutral hydrogen beam injected into a plasma. For the very large energies envisioned for negative ion based systems, the enhancement can be as large as a factor of two
