Scientific paper

A crossed beam apparatus described by Haug et al. (1974) was used in the ionization studies reported. In the experiments a beam of active nitrogen molecules intersected a beam of alkali-metal atoms. The ions produced were extracted and subjected to a mass analysis. It was found that alkali ions and electrons were the only electrically charged reaction products. Neither complex molecule ions nor negative ions were observed in the mass spectrum. The obtained results provide the basis for an evaluation of the significance of the chemiionization process in the upper atmosphere of the planets.
