ATOMIC COLLISION PROCESSES RELATING TO THE IONOSPHERE
Abstract
Measurements of the attachment cross sections in O3 reveal no dependence on temperature below 361K in the energy range 0-4 eV. Measurements of the momentum transfer cross section Qm in N2, required for the deduction of the total inelastic collision cross section Summation Qx from the product Qm Summation Qx measured by a high pressure beam technique, show serious discrepancies with published data. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
