A neutral 100kev Li beam has been used as a diagnostic tool for determining current, plasma density, and magnetic pitch angle on the Texas EXperimental Tokamak. Scale up of this diagnostic for the Tokomak Fusion Test Reactor would require use of a Li/sup -/ beam because of the inefficiency of neutralizing Li/sup +/ at the high energies required. This paper discusses effects to generate Li/sup -/ beams from a plasma discharge. 8 refs.
