Some Classical Mechanisms Influencing the High-Altitude Nuclear Environment.

摘要

Classical mechanisms (e.g., collisions, chemistry, single particle dynamics, and radiation) are necessary, basic ingredients in theoretical and numerical representations of the high-altitude nuclear environment. This report is a compilation of three separate papers, each of which describes and analyzes a classical mechanism which can influence the ionospheric and magnetospheric environments following a high-altitude nuclear burst. The three mechanisms considered are (1) charge exchange, (2) radiative recombination, and (3) nonadiabaticity. (Author)
