Abstract

We report the results of chemical processing induced by 1 keV electron irradiation of a solid N₂O ice sample formed at 25 K. Ozone and several oxides of nitrogen (NO₂, N₂O₂, N₂O₃, N₂O₄ and N₂O₅) 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.
