    Notes: The H− negative ion thermal energy measured using the two-laser-pulse photodetachment technique is reported to be in the range from 0.1 to 0.7 eV for various conditions of volume ion source operation (pressure−from 2 to 7 mTorr, discharge current−from 1.5 to 20 A). The hydrogen pressure has a significant effect in lowering the negative ion temperature, while the increase of the discharge current leads to a rise in T−. It is found that T− is a fraction of the electron temperature, Te. This fraction is strongly dependent on the gas pressure. T− scales linearly with the electron temperature and exceeds the highest values predicted by the theory of dissociative attachment. The possible mechanisms for H− ion heating are discussed.

    Notes: A new technique using laser induced photodetachment has been developed for measuring the negative ion temperature in H− and D− sources. Using this technique, we have investigated the dependence of the negative ion temperature on source parameters such as pressure, discharge current, and electron temperature. Simultaneous measurements of negative ion density, temperature, and extracted current lead to the conclusion that the extracted negative ion current is, at most, equal to the thermal flux.

    Notes: In a recent paper [A. D. Bailey et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 34, 3124 (1993)], the authors presented direct planar laser induced fluorescence measurements of the oscillatory ion fluid velocity field in the presence of a large amplitude drift-Alfven wave. Surprisingly, the measured speeds were an order of magnitude lower than predicted by standard fluid theory, yet the flow pattern was consistent with the fluid theory. A new model, based on the connection between stochasticity and bulk behavior, is presented which gives insights into the cause of this behavior. It is shown that when particle motion is stochastic, invariant sets of a ‘Poincaré map' define a flat-topped particle distribution function consistent with both the electromagnetic field driving the Vlasov equation and the fine-scale single particle dynamics. The approach is described for the general case and explored for a slab model of the observed drift wave. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Large-amplitude drift wave fluctuations are observed to cause severe ion temperature oscillations in plasmas of the Caltech Encore tokamak [J. M. McChesney, P. M. Bellan, and R. A. Stern, Phys. Fluids B 3, 3370 (1991)]. Experimental investigations of the complete ion dynamical behavior in these waves are presented. The wave electric field excites stochastic ion orbits in the plane normal (⊥) to B, resulting in rapid ⊥ heating. Ion–ion collisions impart energy along ((parallel)) B, relaxing the ⊥-(parallel) temperature anisotropy. Hot ions with large orbit radii escape confinement, reaching the chamber wall and cooling the distribution. Cold ions from the plasma edge convect back into the plasma (i.e., recycle), causing further cooling and significantly replenishing the density depleted by orbit losses. The ion–ion collision period τii∼T3/2/n fluctuates strongly with the drift wave phase, due to intense ((approximate)50%) fluctuations in n and T. Evidence for particle recycling is given by observations of bimodal ion velocity distributions near the plasma edge, indicating the presence of cold ions (0.4 eV) superposed atop the hot (4–8 eV) plasma background. These appear periodically, synchronous with the drift wave phase at which ion fluid flow from the wall toward the plasma center peaks. Evidence is presented that such a periodic heat/loss/recycle/cool process is expected in plasmas with strong stochastic heating. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A novel data acquisition system and methodology have been developed for the study of wave phenomena in pulsed plasma discharges. The method effectively reduces experimental uncertainty due to shot-to-shot fluctuations in high repetition rate experiments. Real-time analysis of each wave form allows classification of discharges by wave amplitude, phase, or other features. Measurements can then be constructed from subsets of discharges having similar wave properties. The method clarifies the trade-offs between experimental uncertainty reduction and increased demand for data storage capacity and acquisition time. Finally, this data acquisition system is simple to implement and requires relatively little equipment: only a wave form digitizer and a moderately fast computer. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Hyaluronic acid (HA), a high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular matrix involved in growth, inflammation and wound healing, also contributes to the hydration and plastic properties of skin. Several drug and cosmetic formulations contain HA. We have initiated investigations that explore whether it is possible, by topical application, to modulate endogenous HA levels in skin. We developed a model epidermal culture system that exhibited a differentiated stratum corneum, and expressed HA and the HA receptor CD44, in a pattern similar to that observed in intact skin. Such in vitro skin equivalents are useful models for investigating the effect of topical drugs. HA and bacterial hyaluronidase were applied to the in vitro skin equivalent and to human skin. Their effects on endogenous HA and CD44 expression were examined using histochemical analysis. Topical HA treatment had no significant effect on HA or CD44 expression in either system. However, hyaluronidase decreased HA and CD44 expression in a dose-dependent manner in both the epidermal culture system and in skin. Apparently, HA is not able to permeate the epidermal culture system or human skin to a significant degree, but bacterial hyaluronidase does permeate both human skin and the culture system, depleting HA and decreasing CD44 expression. These effects were more prominent in the dermal than in the epidermal layers, suggesting that marked differences in HA metabolism exist in these two skin compartments. The ability of hyaluronidase to permeate the stratum corneum suggests that topical application may, additionally, be useful as a clinical modality.

    Notes: This article reports work in progress on laser diagnostics of negative-ion transport velocity in H−-ion volume sources. The plasma dynamics after the laser shot is discussed in detail, and the effect of the potential perturbation on the H− velocities is evaluated. A method of evaluation of the H− transport velocity from single-laser-beam photodetachment experiments is proposed. To substantiate this method, two-laser-beam photodetachment experiments have been effected. The velocities thus determined are pressure dependent; they correspond to H− energies in the range 0.23–0.08 eV.

    Notes: Selected initiatives to develop sensors of the local fields, based on extensions of laser-induced fluorescence techniques, are described at both the fundamental and applied levels. Approaches discussed include the use of optical pumping ("tagging''), Stark and Zeeman effect methods, and line-narrowing techniques, such as two-photon Doppler-free schemes.

    Notes: An air-core superconducting solenoid, with a diameter of 0.2 m and a length of 0.4 m, has been configured for use as a heavy-ion reaction-product spectrometer (E/A≤5 MeV/u) near θ=0 °. The spectrometer has a large solid angle (10–35 msr) and properties suitable for time-of-flight measurements with flight paths (approximately-greater-than) 2 m. The performance of the spectrometer was established using α-particle sources and nuclear-reaction products from heavy-ion collisions. The characteristics of air-core magnets are compared to those of steel-yoke magnets. The simplicity and ease of operation of the air-core magnet, without significant problems from the (axial) fringe fields, suggests that larger air-core magnets with dΩ≥20 msr and capable of focusing ions with E/A≥30 MeV/u are feasible. Other applications of solenoids and combinations of solenoids with radial electric-field lenses (ELCO lenses) are also discussed, including designs which focus more than one charge state simultaneously.

    Notes: Several large-solid-angle devices for collecting, at a common focus, multiply charged heavy ions from nuclear reactions have been studied. These devices use axial magnetic fields (solenoids), radial electric fields (coaxial lenses), or a combination of these. Although each system has particular advantages and disadvantages, several designs appear promising for use as practical devices.
