In this paper we analyze the possibility to use the reflex discharge plasma as a volume source of negative hydrogen ions. The basic internal parameters like the temperature Te and the density ne of the electrons, the density ni of the positive hydrogen ions, the density n- of the negative hydrogen ions, and the negative ion fraction n-/ne are measured and discussed. The operating conditions are optimized within the pressure range 0.1-10 Pa, the discharge power 20-140 watt, and the magnetic field 0-150 gauss. The experiment shows that the enhanced magnetic ionization is the most effective within the pressure range from 0.7 to 4.0 Pa. When p ť 1 Pa the cold electron temperature Te is 0.77 eV, the cold electron density ne is 4.2 ´ 10 18 m-3 and the negative ion density n- is as high as 0.8 x 10 17 m-3. The negative ion fraction n-/ne increases from 1.4% for p = 0.1 Pa to almost 2.2% within the pressure range 1-4 Pa. The positive ion density scales with the power, while the negative ion density and the negative ion fraction seems to saturate at higher power levels.
