Abstract: Acetylene, C2H2, has been observed in the interstellar medium, mostly around young stellar objects, as well as in molecular clouds and cometary comae, representing an important species of astrophysical interest. In this work, we present a laboratory study of the C2H2 radiolysis at 45 K for three different beams and energies: 1.0 MeV H+ and He+, and 1.0 and 1.5 MeV N+ beams. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used for monitoring the molecular changes induced by the ion processing. Two different sample thicknesses were irradiated; for the thicker one, implantation had occurred. Spectra and absorbance evolutions for the thin and thick films are qualitatively different. Four C2H2 bands are observed at 3225, 1954, 1392, and 763 cm-1. The C2H2 compaction and apparent destruction cross-sections are determined. For the case of the H+ beam, the compaction cross-section dominates. Concerning molecular synthesis by irradiation, New product bands were not observed in the thin ice irradiations; for the thicker film ice, the daughter species CH4, C2H4, C3H6, and C4H4 have been identified and their destruction and formation cross-sections determined. The apparent destruction cross-section was found to be a function of the electronic stopping power (Se) as σd ∝ S 3/2e . The half-life of the C2H2 bombarded by galactic cosmic rays is estimated. The current findings are a contribution to the understanding of how the molecules synthesized upon irradiation of Interstellar and outer Solar system ices participate to the molecular enrichment and to the physicochemical evolution of the Universe.
