Effects of 150 − 1000 eV Electron Impacts on Pure Carbon Monoxide Ices using the Interstellar Energetic-Process System (IEPS)
Pure CO ice has been irradiated with electrons of energy in the range 150 − 1000 eV with the Interstellar Energetic-Process System (IEPS). The main products of irradiation are carbon chains Cn (n=3,5,6,8,9,10,11,12),suboxides,CnO(n=2,3,4,5,6,7),andCnO2 (n=1,3,4,5,7) species. CO2 is by far the most abundant reaction product in all the experiments. The destruction cross-section of CO peaks at […]
