Two- and three-body kinematical correlation in the dissociative recombination of H(3)(+).

Fragmentation patterns for dissociative recombination of the triatomic hydrogen molecular ion H(3)(+) in the vibrational ground state have been measured using the storage ring technique and molecular fragment imaging. A broad distribution of vibrational states in the H(2) fragment after two-body dissociation and a large predominance of nearly linear momentum geometries after three-body dissociation are found. The fragmentation results are directly contrasted with Coulomb explosion imaging data on the initial H(3)(+) geometry, compared to existing wave-packet calculations, and considered in the light of a simple physical picture.

Dissociative recombination of HD+ in selected vibrational quantum states

Rate coefficients for dissociative recombination of HD+ in selected vibrational states have been measured by a combination of two molecular fragment imaging methods by using the heavy-ion storage ring technique. Recombination fragment imaging yields state-to-state reaction rates. These rates are converted to rate coefficients by using vibrational level populations of the stored ion beam, derived from nuclear coordinate distributions measured on extracted ions. The results show strongly increasing rate coefficients for high vibrational excitation, where additional dissociation routes open up, in agreement with a theoretical calculation. Very low rate coefficients are found for certain, isolated vibrational states.
