ClassVIed abstracts 1891-1904 33 1896. Plasma dynamics. (Canada) Brief summaries are presented on current research in plasma dynamics. Studies include: ionization processes behind a strong shock wave in hydrogen; utilization of an electron beam to measure plasma properties; and the use of spectroscopy for plasma diagnostics.

a plasma slab of relatively uniform density in a magnetic field. Measurements were made at 9.15 GHz of both incoherent emission and coherent fundamental wave propagation, the microwaves propagating in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field and normal to the slab boundaries. Emission resonances were found for both ordinary and extraordinary wave propagation. Precise measurements of the magnetic field at corresponding peaks for the ordinary and extraordinary waves show that the former occur at magnetic fields about 0.3 per cent lower than the latter, independent of harmonic number, electron density and pressure. The ordinary wave resonances occur at the cyclotron harmonic within experimental error (0.1 per cent). Experimental measurements were obtained at residual pressures of 1O-g torr.

(Canada) Theoretical and experimental studies were conducted on the reflection process of gas molecules at a satellite surface in extreme altitudes Molecular beams of high intensity and high velocity were developed to simulate the molecular kinetic energies corresponding to satellite flight. Then the molecules in the beam were scattered from carefully prepared monocrystalline surfaces inside ultrahigh vacuum test chambers equipped with ancillary systems to monitor the amount of gas adsorbed on the surfaces being tested.

33 1891. Nonreactive scattering of K by HBr and DBr in crossed molecular

beams. (USA) The nonreactive scattering of K by HBr and DBr has been measured in crossed molecular beams as a function of relative kinetic energy and for two configurations of the beams and the detector. The effect of averaging over residual energy distributions in the two beam and detector configurations is studied. Chemical reaction affects the nonreactive scattering at large scattering angles. Probabilities of reaction, threshold energies, and total reaction cross sections are obtained from the nonreactive scattering with a simple model used nreviously.

33 1899. Optimal regimes of thermionic emission converters with an

compounds in crossed molecular beams. (USA) The scattering of potassium by the nonreactive compounds C (CH&, C,H,, (CH&C=C(CH,), and the reactive comoounds CHL Ccl,, SIC],, SnC14, SF,, have been studied in experiments with crossed molecular beams. In each case the nonreactive scattering of velocityselected K was measured as a function of laboratory scattering angle at a number of initial, relative kinetic energies. Probability of reaction, threshold energies, threshold distances, and the energy dependence of the total reaction cross sections are obtained from an interpretation of the measurements.

(USA) _ The reactions of D,+ + D,-+D,+ + D and D,+ + H,+CD,H+. H,D+) + (H, D) have been s¨ usine an angular ion-scat&in8 apparatus in which the kinetic-energy distributions of the various product ions have been measured for collision energies in the range 2-15 eV. A mass-analvzed and velocity-selected ion beam was directed into a collision chamber containing tareet gas at low pressure. The product ions are velocity analvzed with a 127” electrostatic velocity selector and mass-analyzed in a quadrunole field rf mass filter. The anqular distributions of the D,+ and D,H+ product ions have also been determined, at urimary beam enereies in the interval 7-11 eV. The mechanisms involved in the various reactions are discussed.
