- Summary
- During this quarter we have tested our scheme to determine the final products and energy released in the charge transfer of H2/sup +/ and H3/sup +/ in Cs. These reactions occur at low energy in the volume of the LBL (Leung-Ehlers) surface conversion H/sup -/ source and can yield suprathermal H atoms as well as vibrationally excited H2, both of which can affect the H/sup -/ production. The scheme utilizes the fact that H atoms, produced by autodissociation of the excited molecular products of charge transfer in the Cs vapor, have a finite (small) probability of capturing a second electron to form H/sup -/ before leaving the oven.
