A plane-parallel cesium thermionic converter was constructed. A second converter, which permits spectrographic determination of cesium species temperatures and densities, was designed. Analytical studies of plasma and sheath phenomena occurring in high pressure operation of a converter are in progress. Elastic scattering cross sections and momentum transfer cross sections for collisions of low energy were previously calculated. A literature survey of transition probabilities for transttions from the ground state in cesium was conducted and a tabulation of experimental values made. (auth)
