H- Formation Processes of Interest to Ion Source Development

In this short paper, we would like to summarize the results of several cross section calculations on systems that are of interest to ion source development. Since we are so restricted on the size of this paper and because the details of the calculations will be published elsewhere, the descriptions of the theoretical procedures used will be extremely limited. This paper will be divided into three sections; the first is concerned with a series of H + Cs reactions, the second discusses H(2s) + Ar, Kr, Xe cross sections, and the third pertains to some H+ + Mg calculations.
