Unfortunately Bob, some formatting error occurred in your email and I could not read the whole of the first paragraph. What you say about the plasma consisting of "Li ions, microscopic Li droplets, microscopic Al droplets and Al ions" is possible, though the Li and Al "droplets" are unlikely. Any

Higgins—Regarding your comments: The spectrometer Rossi is said to have used, if connected via fiber optics, would be limited in its effective range of wavelength monitoring from 200 nm to about 2200 nm. The peak of black body radiation at 2300 C is in this range, However, the peak as a func

As I understand it, Rossi is said to have recorded the spectrum using something like an Ocean Optics fiber spectrometer ( https://oceanoptics.com/product/ocean-fx/). A typical gas discharge spectrum will be a mix of blackbody for the plasma and lines from the key atomic and ionic species. This sp
