Laboratory data on the nondestructive desorption of whole leucine (131 amu) molecules from surfaces induced by fast, heavy-ion bombardment are used to propose that heavy ions in the cosmic-ray flux may induce desorpton of large molecules from the surfaces of grains in molecular, interstellar clouds.

Abstract

Laboratory data on the nondestructive desorption of whole leucine (131 amu) molecules from surfaces induced by fast, heavy-ion bombardment are used to propose that heavy ions in the cosmic-ray flux may induce desorpton of large molecules from the surfaces of grains in molecular, interstellar clouds.
