On the composition of ammonia–sulfuric-acid ion clusters during aerosol particle formation

On the composition of ammonia–sulfuric-acid ion clusters during aerosol particle formation

The formation of particles from precursor vapors is an important source of atmospheric aerosol. Research at the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) facility at CERN tries to elucidate which vapors are responsible for this new-particle formation, and how in detail it proceeds. Initial measuremen...
