Calculations of Electron Attachment and Recombination in a Hydrogen Plasma.
Abstract
This project involved theoretical calculations of microscopic atomic and molecular processes in the generation of H- in a hydrogen plasma. Efficient production of H- is essential for practical applications such as particle beams and fusion plasmas. The specific objectives of the project were: (1) to calculate cross sections foe dissociative recombination of electrons with H2(+) (2) to provide theoretical analysis for ongoing experiments that use multiphoton ionization to investigate the spectroscopy of excited states of molecular hydrogen, and (3) to calculate cross sections for dissociative attachment of electrons with vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules.
