The bombardment of the upper layers of the earth's                         atmosphere by ultraviolet and X-Ray photons from the sun breaks                 apart molecules there such as N2, O2, and CO2 into atomic                       fragments (photodissociation).  Some of these fragments lose or                 gain an electron in the process and emerge electrically charged                 (dissociative ionization), and they all possess varying amounts                 of kinetic energy that affect their subsequent chemical                         reactions.  In some cases the speed of the atom is sufficient to                allow it to escape from the earth.  This award is for laboratory                measurements of the energies and other details of the products of               such molecular disintegration, with the aim of improving our                    understanding of the chemistry of the upper atmosphere.
