The role of some excited ions in laboratory ion–molecule reactions has been investigated, and their possible importance in the upper atmosphere considered. The mass spectrometer techniques of Aston banding and of comparing I.P. curves of parent and product ions have been applied to studies of collision-induced dissociation and charge exchange of oxygen and nitrogen in their parent gas. In every case studied, cross sections depended markedly upon the presence in the ion beam of ions in metastable or long-lived radiative states. In order that an ion reach the collision region, it had to have a mean lifetime greater than 3 μsec.The a 4Πu and b 4Σg excited states of O2+ were identified in the collision[Formula: see text]Higher states of O2+, which have not as yet been identified spectroscopically, were found in the collision[Formula: see text]The thresholds of these new states are 23.9, 27.9, 31.3, and 34.1 eV with an uncertainty ±0.2 eV. From the collision-induced dissociation of N2+, the A 2Πu and the [Formula: see text] states have been identified. Also, the reported transfer of the ν = 3 level of the B [Formula: see text] to the ν = 14 level of the A 2Πu was found.The cross section for 10/01 charged exchange of N2+ in N2 exhibited a marked decrease as excited-state ions diluted the beam. The 10/01 collisions of N+ in N2 and O+ in O2 exhibited an increase in cross section as metastables were added to the parent ion beam. The 10/20 reaction of O2+ in O2 was also observed to depend on excited O2+ ions.

We comment briefly on relations between the elastic and inelastic cross-sections valid for the shadow and reflective modes of the elastic scattering. Those are based on the unitarity arguments. It is shown that the redistribution of the probabilities of the elastic and inelastic interactions (the form of the inelastic overlap function becomes peripheral) under the reflective scattering mode can lead to increasing ratio of [Formula: see text] at the LHC energies. In the shadow scattering mode, the mechanism of this increase is a different one, since the impact parameter dependence of the inelastic interactions probability is central in this mode. A short notice is also given on the slope parameter and the leading contributions to its energy dependence in both modes.
