| | 2 | the resultant Hydrogen molecules occur. After the quadrupole lens cleans out the charged particles from the stream only neutral H atoms and H,,2,, molecules remain (Actually the quadrupole can pass protons created when atoms strip close to the electrodes, so a |
| | 3 | Cleaner electrode 12.8 cm downstream of the quad removes them from the stream). At this point the |
| | 4 | ~100 molecules/sec of H,,2,, must be removed from the 10^^11^^ atoms/sec of H. To do this we use a gas cell to strip a portion of this stream so that afterwards the charged particles can be seperated by an electrostatic energy analyzer. |
