The production of vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules by recombination processes on a tungsten surface exposed to hydrogen is relevant to the understanding and development of hydrogen negative ion sources (e.g. [1, 2]) and to a lesser extent to the modelling the edge plasma in tokamaks (e.g. [3, 4]).
Here we present an overview of our studies of the vibrational distributions in H2 and...
Divertor detachment is the leading candidate for solving the heat exhaust problem in future fusion reactors. Key to understanding detachment is the interaction of the plasma with a background of neutral particles in the divertor region. Collisions of the plasma with these neutral background particles result in a rich range of physical and chemical processes, causing the plasma to dissipate its...
Development of critically evaluated data sets for atomic parameters has long been a major part of the research program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Over the last decade NIST researchers and their collaborators created recommended sets of data for a number of fusion-related elements including, e.g., Be, Ar, Fe, Mo, and W. As a result, for example, the number of...
