STUDIES AND EXPERIMENTAL WORK ON ATOMIC COLLISION PROCESSES OCCURRING IN ATMOSPHERIC GASES

Abstract

This technical report describes: (a) a preliminary experimental investigation of electron attachment and detachment in ozone; and (b) an experimental study of the temperature dependence of electron-positive ion recombination in atmospheric gases. The rate coefficients for these processes are needed for the prediction and analysis of the electrical behavior of the earth's atmosphere in the presence of natural and artificially induced ionization.
