Abstract

We report the results of chemical processing induced by 1 keV electron irradiation of a solid N 2O ice sample formed at 25 K. Ozone and several oxides of nitrogen (NO 2, N 2O 2, N 2O 3, N 2O 4 and N 2O 5) were observed to form during the irradiation period. Such reactions have important implications for the ice chemistry of outer solar system planets/satellites and interstellar ices.
