Ramsay, Alita M. Roach, and Bruce E. Takala ABSTRACT The Proceedings of the eleven Detonation Symposia have become the major archival source of information of international research in explosive phenomenology, theory, experimental techniques, numerical modeling, and high-rate reaction chemistry. In many cases, they contain the original reference or the only reference to major progress in the field. For some papers, the information is more complete than the complementary article appearing in a formal journal; yet for others, authors elected to publish only an abstract in the Proceedings. For the large majority of papers, the Symposia Proceedings provide the only published reference to a body of work. This report indexes the eleven existing Proceedings of the Detonation Symposia by paper titles, topic phrases, authors, and first appearance of acronyms and code names. INTRODUCTION The indexes comprise four parts: (A) a listing of Committee in 1987 (NSWC MP 87-194), and not the paper titles and authors in order of appearance the original page numbers. Some confusion also in each Symposium Proceedings, (B) an exists for references from the Third Symposium alphabetical listing of topic phrases, (C) an index in that it was initially published as three paper- of all authors, and (D) an index to first appear- back volumes. These were combined into a single ance of acronyms and code names of composi- hardbound volume, identified by the publisher, tions and components that are defined.

Murphy, A. Sorooshian, J. H. Kroll, N. L. Ng, P. Chhabra, C. Tong, J.D. Surratt, E. Knipping, R. C. Flagan, and J. H. Seinfeld, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 7(9), 2313-2337, 2007.

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. 91 3.1 Abstract Although aliphatic amines have been detected in both urban and rural atmospheric aerosols, little is known about the chemistry leading to particle formation or the potential aerosol yields from reactions of gas-phase amines. We present here the first systematic study of aerosol formation from the atmospheric reactions of amines. Based on laboratory chamber experiments and theoretical calculations, we evaluate aerosol formation from reaction of OH, ozone, and nitric acid with trimethylamine, methylamine, triethylamine, diethylamine, ethylamine, and ethanolamine. Entropies of formation for alkylammonium nitrate salts are estimated by molecular dynamics calculations enabling us to estimate equilibrium constants for the reactions of amines with nitric acid. Though subject to significant uncertainty, the calculated dissociation equilibrium constant for diethy- lammonium nitrate is found to be sufficiently small to allow for its atmospheric formation, even in the presence of ammonia which competes for available nitric acid. Experimental chamber studies indicate that the dissociation equilibrium constant for triethylammonium nitrate is of the same order of magnitude as that for ammonium nitrate. All amines studied form aerosol when photooxidized in the presence of NOx with the majority of the aerosol mass present at the peak of aerosol growth consisting of + aminium (R3NH ) nitrate salts, which repartition back to the gas phase as the parent amine is consumed.
