| description | <p>Oxidation flow reactors (OFRs) are an emerging technique for studying the
formation and oxidative aging of organic aerosols and other applications. In
these flow reactors, hydroxyl radicals (OH), hydroperoxyl radicals
(<span class="inline-formula">HO<sub>2</sub></span>), and nitric oxide (NO) are typically produced in the following
ways: photolysis of ozone (<span class="inline-formula">O<sub>3</sub></span>) at <span class="inline-formula"><i>λ</i>=25</span>4 nm, photolysis of
<span class="inline-formula">H<sub>2</sub>O</span> at <span class="inline-formula"><i>λ</i>=185</span> nm, and via reactions of <span class="inline-formula">O(<sup>1</sup>D)</span> with
<span class="inline-formula">H<sub>2</sub>O</span> and nitrous oxide <span class="inline-formula">(N<sub>2</sub>O)</span>; <span class="inline-formula">O(<sup>1</sup>D)</span> is formed via
photolysis of <span class="inline-formula">O<sub>3</sub></span> at <span class="inline-formula"><i>λ</i>=254</span> nm and/or <span class="inline-formula">N<sub>2</sub>O</span> at
<span class="inline-formula"><i>λ</i>=185</span> nm. Here, we adapt a complementary method that uses alkyl
nitrite photolysis as a source of OH via its production of <span class="inline-formula">HO<sub>2</sub></span> and NO
followed by the reaction NO <span class="inline-formula">+</span> <span class="inline-formula">HO<sub>2</sub></span> <span class="inline-formula">→</span> <span class="inline-formula">NO<sub>2</sub></span> <span class="inline-formula">+</span> OH. We

(isopropyl nitrite, perdeuterated isopropyl nitrite, 1,3-propyl dinitrite) in
the Potential Aerosol Mass (PAM) OFR as a function of photolysis wavelength
(<span class="inline-formula"><i>λ</i>=254</span> to 369 nm) and organic nitrite concentration (0.5 to 20 ppm). We also apply this technique in conjunction with chemical ionization
