Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Neutral particle behavior and H alpha emission spectrum are simulated with Monte Carlo code DEGAS for divertor simulator Material and Plasma(MAP)-II. Effect of plasma condition (ie. detach and attach) on neutral particle transport and H alpha emission is studied. Target plate reflection is the main neutral source for MAP-II attached plasma. Change of projectiles and comparison with puffing source are also shown.
