Abstract
Absolute yields of negative ions and secondary electrons resulting fro m positive ions impacting a stainless steel surface have been determin ed as a function of the impact energy. The surface conditions range fr om those commonly found in situ for discharge electrodes to a surface free of any adsorbate. The implications of these findings to discharge modeling are discussed.
