Using 57.2 pb-1 of data collected with the CLEO-c detector at the ψ(3770) resonance, we measure absolute branching fractions for three D0 and two D+ Cabibbo-allowed hadronic decay modes, and the cross section for [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text].

ABSTRACT Due to the relatively strong gravity on Venus, heavy atmospheric neutrals are difficult to accelerate to the escape velocity. However, a variety of processes, such as the dissociative recombination of ionospheric O$_2^+$, are able to produce hot atoms which could deliver a significant amount of energy to light neutrals and drive their escape. In this study, we construct a Monte Carlo model to simulate atmospheric escape of three light species, H, H2, and He, on Venus via such a knock-on process. Two Venusian background atmosphere models are adopted, appropriate for solar minimum and maximum conditions. Various energy-dependent and species-dependent cross-sections, along with a common strongly forward scattering angle distribution, are used in our calculations. Our model results suggest that knock-on by hot O likely plays the dominant role in driving total atmospheric hydrogen and helium escape on Venus at the present epoch, with a significant portion contributed from regions below the exobase. Substantial variations are also revealed by our calculations. Of special interest is the modelled reduction in escape flux at high solar activities for all species, mainly associated with the enhancement in thermal O concentration near the exobase at high solar activities which hinders escape. Finally, model uncertainties due to several controlling factors, including the distribution of relevant light species in the background atmosphere, the plane-parallel approximation, and the finite O energy distribution, are evaluated.

We used the multichannel quantum defect theory to compute cross sections and rate coefficients for the dissociative recombination of CH + initially in its lowest vibrational level v i + = 0 with electrons of incident energy below 0.2 eV. We have focused on the contribution of the 2 2 Π state which is the main dissociative recombination route at low collision energies. The final cross section is obtained by averaging the relevant initial rotational states ( N i + = 0 , ⋯ , 10 ) with a 300 K Boltzmann distribution. The Maxwell isotropic rate coefficients for dissociative recombination are also calculated for different initial rotational states and for electronic temperatures up to a few hundred Kelvins. Our results are compared to storage-ring measurements.

A model of the head echo is examined, in which, as a source of ionization and recombination, an interaction layer of impinging atmospheric molecules (O2) mixing with reflected ones is assumed. Dissociative recombination is considered as the most probable process. If we suppose that the interaction layer is that arising in nearly free molecular flow with no shock wave present, we obtain, using the observed heights of head echoes, dimensions of meteoroids in the range 10–1 cm for absolute magnitudes between −10 and −2. It is shown that such a layer may be used to explain the high initial recombination coefficient of the order of 10−5 cm3/sec. Using the ionization collision cross-sections measured by Utterback (1963) we obtain for the mean extent of the interaction layer a value 1–100 m for heights 80–130 km, in accordance with radar observations.
