      abstract     = {[ 1] The formation of aerosols, and subsequent cloud
                      condensation nuclei, remains one of the least understood
                      atmospheric processes upon which global climate change
                      critically depends. Under atmospheric conditions, the
                      process of homogeneous nucleation (formation of stable
                      clusters -1 nm in size), and their subsequent growth into
                      new particles (>3 nm), determines the aerosol and cloud
                      nuclei population, yet, hitherto, no theory has elucidated
                      the new particle formation phenomenon in detail. In this
                      study, we present a new theory which provides a mechanistic
                      explanation for new particle formation via activation of
                      stable inorganic clusters by organic vapors. The new
                      nano-particle activation theory is analogous to Kohler
                      theory which describes cloud formation in a supersaturated
                      water vapor field but differs in that it describes the
                      activation of inorganic stable nano-clusters into aerosol
                      particles in a supersaturated organic vapor which initiates
                      spontaneous and rapid growth of clusters. Inclusion of the
                      new theory into aerosol formation models predicts that
                      increases in organic vapor densities lead to even greater
                      increases in particle production, which, in turn, will
                      influence the global radiative cooling effect of atmospheric
                      aerosols.},
