A hollow cathode discharge as a high intensity source for fast neutrals in the eV range

  • 1. Technische Hogeschool Eindhoven (Netherlands)

Description

A hollow cathode discharge (HCD) is used as a molecular beam source for fast neutral atoms with energies in the order of 0.5 - 5 eV. In the discharge energy is transfered from ions to neutrals by charge exchange and elastic collisions. Measurements of the velocity distribution of the fast neutrals are presented. As a plasma-diagnostic the method of molecular beam sampling gives very detailed information on the ion velocity distribution. (Auth.)
