Laser Heating of Solid Hydrogen for Production of Vibrationally Excited Molecules for Use in Negative Hydrogen Ion Sources

Abstract

dc:description

An experiment has been performed in which laser light was used to heat hydrogen pellets on a metallic substrate. The purpose of heating the hydrogen is to create a vibrationally excited population of hydrogen for use in negative hydrogen ion sources. The desired heating temperature is 3000-6000 K.
