Although this calculation uses different H+ H2 elastic cross sections than that of Ref., we do not expect to result in major differences in results. They derive an energy distribution for the H atoms leaving the cathode that is consistent with their experimental Hα profile rather than calculating it from first priciples as is the present paper. 10.1063/1.3079513

50. Recent measurements by one of the authors (Z.Lj.P.) for unpolished POCO graphite, which had not been exposed to discharges, gave 6% reflectivity. Our use of H2 discharge cleaning and the resultant layer of sputtered graphite reduces the reflection, while sputtered Au, Pd, and/or stainless steel on the graphite could increase the reflection.

Trajmar, (Springer-Verlag, New York, 1985) p. 113. This work with D2 found ∼10% distortion of the spatial distribution of emission when the current was raised to 10 μA. Because of higher ion drift velocities in H2, the electric field distortion for H2 discharges is expected to become significant only for higher currents than for D2.

61. The model of Ref. has been extended to include H+ produced at the anode by electron impact on adsorbed H2. The expected yield of H+ per incident electron for a monolayer coverage of H2 on a tungsten anode is ∼ 10-9. Assuming an extremely large H+ yield of 0.01 per electron for our dirty AuPd operated as an anode and using b=100, the calculated profile shows a roughly 5% increase in the total Hα at negative wavelength shifts relative to that at positive wavelength shifts.
