The annihilation of positrons in a simulated interstellar medium consisting of molecular hydrogen and a small admixture of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, naphthalene, was studied in a Penning trap containing cold positrons. The experiments demonstrate the ability to distinguish two distinct components in the annihilation γ-ray spectra. The significance of the experiment for the analysis of γ-ray spectra of astrophysical origin is discussed.

AbstractA discussion is presented of the chemistry of quiescent molecular clouds, and the effects of the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and of cosmic-ray induced ultraviolet photons are examined. A comparison is made with the chemistry occurring in molecular clouds that are subjected to shocks and the differences between dissociative and non-dissociative shocks are described. The changes in composition caused by intense cosmic ray fluxes or intense ultraviolet radiation fields are explored.
