Abstract
⺠The dissociative recombination of ions in the ionosphere of Titan is studied. ⺠We provide the first estimation of the production rates of neutrals by DR. ⺠We show that the commonly used H-loss scheme for DR is non-representative. ⺠DR is a major source of reactive radicals. ⺠DR has a strong feedback on the densities of minor neutrals species.
