Abstract. Two new submodels for the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) were developed. The New Aerosol Nucleation submodel (NAN) includes new parameterisations of aerosol particle formation rates published in recent years. These parameterisations include ion-induced nucleation and nucleation of pure organic species. NAN calculates the rate of new particle formation based on the aforementioned parameterisations for aerosol submodels in the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric chemistry - Climate (EMAC) model. The Ion pair production rate, needed to calculate the ion-induced or -mediated nucleation, is described using the new submodel IONS, which provides ion pair production rates for other submodels within the MESSy framework. Both new submodels were tested in EMAC simulations. These simulations showed good agreement with ground based observations.

Ionic conductivity of the stratosphere is one of the important parameters for understanding the electrical state of the region. This parameter is sensitive to the presence of aerosols and thus, aerosol loading on the stratosphere has a bearing on the conductivity. Preliminary efforts were made to study the behaviour of stratospheric ion conductivity and its variation under enhanced aerosol conditions by making use of an Ion-aerosol model. The aerosol ion-small ion recombination coefficient obtained from the model determines the extent to which aerosols can alter the conductivity of the stratosphere. This necessitates the requirement of experimental measurements of attachment and recombination coefficient along with simultaneously measured aerosol density to have the proper information on electrical conductivity of the region.

In this paper, we consider a deformed AdS background and study the effect of deformation parameter on the pair production rate of the Schwinger effect. The electrostatic potential is important for the pair production in the holographic Schwinger effect. In this paper, we analyze the electrostatic potential in a deformed AdS background and investigate the effect of deformation parameter which may be useful to test the AdS/QCD. In the case of zero temperature, we find that the larger value of the deformation parameter leads to a smaller value of separation length of the test particles on the probe. Also, we find a finite maximum of separation length in the presence of modification parameter.

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.
