Description

LANSCE uses a filament driven multi-cusp H- ion source. Most H- ions are produced on a biased, low work function converter. The surface chemistry and work function are complex due to the time dynamics of the pulsed plasma, and the wide variety of elements/molecules that are present and participate in the surface formation. This work will use basic models and existing LANSCE ion source and surface science data to investigate the interplay of these effects.
