Name: Ng Research Group_20150416_beta-Pinene_Nitrate radical_Ammonium sulfate
Date: 2015-04-16

Organization
Ng Research Group

Chamber
Georgia Tech Environmental Chamber (Far)

Experiment Set
BP+NO3_Nah

Goals
Photochemical aging of b-pinene + NO3 SOA

Summary
b-pinene injected followed by NO3 to generate SOA. H2O2 is injected afterwards and lights are turned on to characterize photochemical aging.
