Single particle behavior in plasmas

Description: The paper follows the history of a neutral atom or molecule into a plasma--ionization, dissociation, radiation,--until it becomes a set of charged particles moving in the electromagnetic fields of the plasma system. The various useful forms of the method of averaging are displayed and applied to calculation of constants of motion. The breakdown of these constants is discussed along with some of the implications for fusion systems.

Pressure limits of negative ion sources based upon gas efficiency and extracted ion-current density

Description: The nature of the electrical discharge has an obvious impact upon the gas efficiency of an ion source and on the current density whch can be drawn from it. However external factors, such as the conductance of the grids and the background pressure along the beamline, also have an effect. Simple approximations based upon these factors show that there is a lower limit to the pressure of an ion source, which can deliver an ion beam of given current density at a specific gas efficiency. Estimates of… more
