Abstract
Secondary electron ejection coefficients for rare gas metastable atoms striking a stainless steel surface have been determined using an improved gas cell technique. Data are presented for He(2 1S), He(2 3S), and Ne(3P0,2) atoms, and limitations of this technique are discussed. An alternative method for γ determination is described which utilizes laser induced photoionization rather than chemiionization, and results are presented for He(2 1S) and Xe(3P0).Keywords
