We present the results from a self-consistent kinetic model simulating the afterglow of a flowing microwave discharge in pure N-2 in which CH4 is introduced in the post-discharge. The simulation is carried out for a discharge operating at 433 MHz, in a tube of 1.9 cm inner radius, at the pressure range 26.6-133 Pa. In the post-discharge the CH4 is primarily dissociated into CH3 and CH2 due to collisions with the metastables N-2(A(3)Sigma(+)(u)) and N-2(a'(t3)Sigma(-)(u)) coming from the discharge, while HCN is obtained from collisions of CH3 and CH2 with N(S-4) atoms. Our calculations show that numerous species existing in Titan's atmosphere are then formed as a result of a complex interplay kinetics. The time-evolution of the species is investigated along the afterglow as well as the possibility of these species being precursors to the formation of organic aerosols. (C) 2010 COSPAR.
