Ion-ion neutralization
Abstract
This work is part of a larger program of ionic reaction studies at thermal energies, conducted by the authors of this report, which includes determinations of ion-molecule reaction rate coefficients and product ion distributions, electron-ion recombination coefficients and electron attachment coefficients. The work is largely intended as a contribution of the physics and chemistry of natural plasmas such as the Earth's atmosphere and the interstellar medium. A great deal of relevant data has been obtained principally because of our successful development and exploitation of the Langmuir probe/flowing afterglow and selected ion flow tube (SIFT) techniques.
