Thermal and non-thermal processes and chemical reaction types included in the chemical model for both the type IIb SN ejecta and the post-RS gas.

Reaction description Gas regime/location

Thermal

Unimolecular AB −→ A + B Thermal decomposition Very high temperature

Bimolecular AB+ C −→ BC + A Neutral exchange High temperature
A + B −→ AB + hν Radiative association T independent
AB + M −→ A + B + M Collision dissociation High density
AB+ + C −→ BC+ + A IonMolecule T independent
AB+ + C −→ AB + C+ Charge exchange T independent
A + + e −→ A + hν Radiative recombination T independent
AB + + e −→ A + B Dissociative recombination T independent

Termolecular A + B + M −→ AB + M Three-body association High density

Non-Thermal

A + CE −→ A+ + e +CE Ionisation by Compton e entire SN ejecta
AB + CE −→ A + B + CE Dissociation by Compton e entire SN ejecta
AB + hν −→ A + B Photo-dissociation post-RS gas
A + hν −→ A+ + e Photo-ionisation post-RS gas
