Laser-Induced Photon-Branched Chain Reaction
in a Chemically-Active Gas-Dispersed Medium
Figure 3
Time dependencies of the concentration (a) of a unipolarlycharged
aerosol with the average unit elementary charge per particle
under electrostatic scattering conditions and (b) of the ratio of the change
in the total particle concentration N in the medium, which experiences
coagulation and precipitation, to the change in the concentration of
the particles which remain in the medium after electrostatic scattering,
plotted as a function of the average size of the particles participating in
these processes, calculated for q = e (dashed curve), l.lāe (dotted curve),
and 1.3āe (chain curve).
