Ozone isotopic composition: an angular effect in scattering processes?

The ratio of the differential scattering cross sections involving distinguishable and indistinguishable isotopes may exhibit non-mass dependent angular variations. A numerical application of this hypotheses to the ozone reaction rates reproduces some of the results observed in laboratory experim...

Description
Summary:The ratio of the differential scattering cross sections involving distinguishable and indistinguishable isotopes may exhibit non-mass dependent angular variations. A numerical application of this hypotheses to the ozone reaction rates reproduces some of the results observed in laboratory experiments. This theory could be tested through a cross beam experiment where the isotopic composition of the scattered products is recorded as a function of their scattering angles.<br><br><b>Key words. </b>Atmospheric composition and structure (middle atmosphere – composition and chemistry)
