Neutral Beam Interactions with Materials.

Abstract

This annual report describes experimental and theoretical research which concerns the interaction of neutral or ion beams with surface ablation plasmas. This problem is of interest in the case of particle penetration to outgassing or ablating objects in a high vacuum environment. We have constructed a neutral beam-ablation plasma experiment which employs a Q-switched ruby laser to independently generate a dense ablation plasma. Keywords include: Neutral-beams, radiation signatures, and beam-material interactions.
