Abstract
Sodium atom beams are proposed for use in beam emission spectroscopy. The effective cross section of excitation, ionization, and charge-exch ange processes, which occur in collisions with the plasma particles, a re calculated. The attenuation values of probing sodium beams are foun d for the T-10 and the U-2M devices. A new operation mode is found for an emitter of a thermionic source. It ensures stable and intense emis sion of lithium and sodium ions.
