Abstract: The equilibrium fractions of He - produced by He + impact on hydrogen gas in the energy range 80-200 keV have been measured. The effect of hydrogen gas target thickness on the He - fraction when formed from He 0 and He + has also been studied at 100 keV. The He - fraction increases to a maximum value as the target thickness is increased and then falls to the equilibrium value. This effect is more pronounced when He 0 is the incident particle, and can be explained if the negative ion is formed from the metastable neutral particle.
