IONIC REACTIONS IN THE IONOSPHERIC GASES.

Abstract

A description is given of work concerned with the measurement of the decay constants of the atomic ions He(+), Ne(+) and Ar(+) in their pure parent gases by monitoring the density of these species as a function of time in an afterglow using a time-resolving mass spectrometer and the decay of electron density in these pure gases using a Langmuir probe.
