Hydrogen Balmer-αbroadening in dense plasmas

Abstract

This work presents a theoretical analysis of experimental results for the hydrogen Balmer-alpha line in dense plasmas, with electron densities between 2x10(18) and 9x10(18) e/cm(3) A simulation of both electrons and ions is employed to produce reliable theoretical widths. These results are essentially in agreement with standard theory results and, for the most part, disagree with the experimental results. Consequently, either mechanisms not accounted for in the theoretical results (such as quadrupoles) are more important than previously thought at these densities, or else there is a problem in the experimental data (such as a possible reabsorption, which is not ruled out by the experimental data).

Spectroscopic study of unique line broadening and inversion in low-pressure microwave generated water plasmas

“…Specifically strong lines were found at wavelengths corresponding to energies of q*13.6 where q=1, 2,3,4,6,7,8,9,11. These strong emissions are not found in any single gas plasma, and cannot 4 be assigned to the known emission of any of the single gases studied.…”

Evidence of catalytic production of hot atomic hydrogen in RF generated hydrogen/helium plasmas

“…Many groups report (anomalous) line broadening of atomic hydrogen lines in mixed gas plasmas containing argon in high field regions [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. A similar phenomenon has been observed in pure hydrogen plasmas, generated with DC discharge or RF systems including one group using a GEC cell [4,7,17].…”

“…One class of mechanisms can be called field acceleration (FA) models because, in all the various permutations of this class of models, it is necessary for the energy to be given to the hydrogen from the field. For example, it is postulated that ionic molecular hydrogen is accelerated in the cathode fall region, then is neutralized and picks up charge from Ar ions, and finally dissociates and emits [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Identification of new hydrogen states

“…[42][43][44][45] Other signatures of energetic reactions such as extraordinary fast H have also been observed serendipitously. [62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] The recent experimental confirmation of the predictions for transitions of atomic hydrogen to form hydrinos, such as power production and characterization of hydrino reaction products, as well as pumped catalyst states, fast H, characteristic continuum radiation, and the hydrino products have profound implications theoretically, scientifically, and technologically in that they ͑1͒ confirm GUTCP in the prediction of hydrinos, ͑2͒ directly disprove atomic theories such as the Schrödinger and Dirac equation theories based on the definition of n = 1 as the ground state, the defined state below which it is impossible to go, as expected based on many physical failings and preexisting mathematical inconsistencies, 1-13 ͑3͒ offer resolution to many otherwise inexplicable celestial observations with ͑a͒ the identity of dark matter being hydrinos, ͑b͒ the hydrino-transition radiation being the radiation source heating the WHIM ͑warm-hot intergalactic medium͒ and behind the observation that diffuse H␣ emission is ubiquitous throughout the Galaxy requiring widespread sources of flux shortward of 912 Å, and ͑c͒ the energy and radiation from the hydrino transitions being the source of extraordinary temperatures and power regarding the solar corona problem, 23,24 and ͑4͒ directly demonstrate a new field of hydrogen chemistry and a powerful new energy source. 26 …”

“…A population of extraordinarily high-kinetic-energy hydrogen atoms in certain mixed hydrogen plasmas is a well-established phenomenon; however, the mechanism has been controversial in that the conventional view that it is due to field acceleration is not supported by the data and critical tests. 23,[55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] Rather it is shown that the cause is due to the energy released in the formation of hydrinos. 23,55-61 An additional energetic signature, independently confirmed, is the formation of a chemically generated plasma or so-called rt plasma 28,35,46-53 that releases excess power.…”
