Dependence of Chemical Abundance on the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate in IC 348
Ions (e.g., ${{\rm{H}}}_{3}^{+}$ , H _2 O ^+ ) have been used extensively to quantify the cosmic-ray ionization rate (CRIR) in diffuse sightlines. However, measurements of the CRIR in low-to-intermediate density gas environments are rare, especially when background stars are absent. In this work, we...
