Investigation of Electron Impact Processes Relevant to Visible Lasers

Abstract

During this contract period construction of the electron spectrometer has been completed. The performance of the instrument has been appraised from measurements of energy loss spectra in argon and helium. Currently efforts are in progress to reduce the background signal in the instrument arising from the incident electron beam suffering inelastic collisions with various surfaces and eventually scattering into the analyzer optics.
