The Atmospheric Influence on Cosmic-Ray-Induced Ionization and Absorbed Dose Rates
Universe, 2023 When high-energy particles originating from space penetrate the atmosphere, they may interact with atoms and molecules, initiating air showers composed of secondary and tertiary particles propagating towards the ground.

The charging of neutral dimethylamine and dimethylamine–sulfuric acid clusters using protonated acetone [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 Sulfuric acid is generally considered one of the most important substances taking part in atmospheric particle formation. However, in typical atmospheric conditions in the lower troposphere, sulfuric acid and water alone are unable to form particles.

Natural Sources of Ionization and Their Impact on Atmospheric Electricity
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 We present a study of atmospheric electricity using the chemistry‐climate model SOCOL considering ionization by solar energetic particles during an extreme solar proton event (SPE), galactic cosmic rays (GCR), and terrestrial radon (Rn‐222). We calculate
