Momentum Distribution of Ions in Plasma Beam.

Abstract

This report describes a modified time of flight analyzer that was used to measure the velocity distribution function of the ions in a dense plasma beam. The beam is produced with a coaxial gun of the Cheng type. The beam density is approximately 10 to the 17th power/cc, and the ions have an average directed velocity of 800 eV. The ions are cold while the electrons have a temperature of 40 eV. The density and energy of the ions in the beam are suitable for injection in a Shiva machine. (Author)
