Resonance Studies of Hydrogen Atoms Interacting with Very Cold Surfaces
Abstract
Experimental techniques and theoretical methods of analysis for the study of hydrogen atoms stored in containers having very cold surfaces are developed. The temperature dependence of the probability of adsorption and average time of adsorption of hydrogen atoms on frozen molecular hydrogen surfaces is measured. Recombination and other relaxations while adsorbed are studied. A high intensity state-selected hydrogen atom beam with thermal speeds at 6 K is developed and applied to atomic hydrogen maser development. (Author)
