Rates of ion neutralization have been measured in hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, and nitrous oxide by collecting the ions remaining in a defined volume at various times after ionization by a pulse of 120 k.v.p. X-rays. Values of the total homogeneous ion-ion recombination coefficient, a, have been obtained for each gas over a range of pressures in the region 50 to 650 Torr. From a study of the effects of pressure and ion density, the relative rates of wall diffusion, mutual neutralization, and three-body neutralization have been deduced.

Abstract. We present the results of laboratory measurements of the ion–ion recombination coefficient at different temperatures, relative humidities and concentrations of ozone and sulfur dioxide. The experiments were carried out using the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) chamber at CERN, the walls of which are made of conductive material, making it possible to measure small ions. We produced ions in the chamber using a 3.5 GeV c−1 beam of positively charged pions (π+) generated by the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS). When the PS was switched off, galactic cosmic rays were the only ionization source in the chamber. The range of the ion production rate varied from 2 to 100 cm−3 s−1, covering the typical range of ionization throughout the troposphere. The temperature ranged from −55 to 20 °C, the relative humidity (RH) from 0 to 70 %, the SO2 concentration from 0 to 40 ppb, and the ozone concentration from 200 to 700 ppb. The best agreement of the retrieved ion–ion recombination coefficient with the commonly used literature value of 1.6 × 10−6 cm3 s−1 was found at a temperature of 5 °C and a RH of 40 % (1.5 ± 0.6) × 10−6 cm3 s−1. At 20 °C and 40 % RH, the retrieved ion–ion recombination coefficient was instead (2.3 ± 0.7) × 10−6 cm3 s−1. We observed no dependency of the ion–ion recombination coefficient on ozone concentration and a weak variation with sulfur dioxide concentration. However, we observed a more than fourfold increase in the ion–ion recombination coefficient with decreasing temperature. We compared our results with three different models and found an overall agreement for temperatures above 0 °C, but a disagreement at lower temperatures. We observed a strong increase in the recombination coefficient for decreasing relative humidities, which has not been reported previously.

A study has been made of the decay of a hydrogen plasma of ion density ~3���1015 cm?3 and temperature ~104�K. Details are presented of the experimental methods used to determine density and temperature distributions in the decaying plasma. The plasma decays by three-body recombination mainly and the experimental values of the recombination coefficient agree with those expected for a plasma opaque to Lyman radiation.

The current work performs a numerical study on periodic motions of the Hill three-body problem. In particular, by computing the stability of its basic planar families we determine vertical self-resonant (VSR) periodic orbits at which families of three-dimensional periodic orbits bifurcate. It is found that each VSR orbit generates two such families where the multiplicity and symmetry of their member orbits depend on certain property characteristics of the corresponding VSR orbit’s stability. We trace twenty four bifurcated families which are computed and continued up to their natural termination forming thus a manifold of three-dimensional solutions. These solutions are of special importance in the Sun-Earth-Satellite system since they may serve as reference orbits for observations or space mission design.

Spectral dynamics of femtosecond laser plasma induced on the sea water surface is investigated. Characteristic decay time of continuum and line intensity of Mg II, Ca II and Na I are determined. Electron density that changes from 3.0·1016to 2.4·1015cm-3was provided by usage of three-body recombination coefficient. It is shown that Na detection limit will be least in comparison with Mg and Ca.
