The reaction scheme used to fit the experimental time evolution of PAHs, their cations and other photoproducts upon VUV irradiation is indicated in the dotted box. The total reaction scheme including the accretion of PAH species from the gas phase into the ice is used for modeling the astrophysical case as described in Sect. 5.
