Abstract
The radiolytic decomposition of CO induced by alpha particles appears to be initiated by two reactive species, CO+ and CO*. The products of the reaction are CO2 and the solids (C3O2)x and graphite. Carbon dioxide formed during the reaction depletes the CO+ by charge transfer. Thus, when CO2 pressure becomes sufficiently high, CO* only initiates reaction. The reaction mechanism suggested is consistent with previous ionization and photochemical studies in the CO system.Keywords
