Measurement of mobility and mass of atmospheric ions

The evolution in atmospheric air of small radioactive or gaseous ions has been studied, for ionic ages ranging from 10 −4 sec to a few seconds. Different mobility values have been found. The influence of various phenomena on the evolution of the ions has been investigated: water vapor, gaseous impur...

Description
Summary:The evolution in atmospheric air of small radioactive or gaseous ions has been studied, for ionic ages ranging from 10 −4 sec to a few seconds. Different mobility values have been found. The influence of various phenomena on the evolution of the ions has been investigated: water vapor, gaseous impurities. To specify the nature and the structure of ionic agglomerates, a mass spectrometer has been used to measure ionic masses. Preliminary experimental results are given.
