Resonance Studies of Hydrogen Atoms Interacting with Very Cold Surfaces.

Abstract

Techniques and information developed during previous studies of the ground state hyperfine resonance of hydrogen atoms intermittently absorbed on molecular hydrogen surfaces are applied to the development of a state-selected low temperature hydrogen beam. Beam intensities up to 5 x 10 to the 13th power sec-1 of F=1, mF=0 atoms are achieved and used to study hydrogen atom interactions near 4.2 K. Modifications for extending the temperature range are designed and made.
