O(${}^{3}P$)+CO${}_2$ scattering cross sections at superthermal collision energies for planetary aeronomy

Marko Gacesa, Robert J. Lillis, Kevin J. Zahnle

We report new elastic and inelastic cross sections for O(${}^{3}P$)+CO${}_2$ scattering at collision energies from 0.03 to 5 eV, of major importance to O escape from Mars, Venus, and CO$…
