NEW METHODS FOR PRODUCING HIGH ENERGY MOLECULAR BEAMS.

Abstract

Recently developed methods of generating and using molecular beams for the study of collision processes in the 1 to 20 eV range are reviewed. The methods described in detail are (1) the use of cathode sputtering to produce atomic beams, (2) the merging beams technique in which the energy difference between two collinear high energy beams is utilized, and (3) the use of supersonic jet sources.
