Development of High Intensity Ion Sources.

Abstract

This report summarizes the progress made on an experimental program designed to provide data that will permit a reliable estimate to be made of the aluminum monoxide (AlO) concentration in the debris patch subsequent to a high altitude nuclear burst. The technique used in the experiment involves firing a laser beam at an aluminum target. The resultant aluminum plasma is electrostatically accelerated to high energy and injected into a laboratory tank for subsequent measurements.
