S. Laube et al., NEW FALP-MS MEASUREMENTS OF H-3(-3(+) AND HCO+ DISSOCIATIVE RECOMBINATION(), D), Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 31(9), 1998, pp. 2111-2128
A series of measurements of the rate coefficient for the dissociative
recombination (DR) of H-3(+) has been recorded. A value of 7.8 +/- 2.3
x 10(-8) cm(3) s(-1) was found for ions that are vibrationally cold.
This is somewhat smaller than that measured previously by this group.
The difference is ascribed to aerodynamic effects which affected our e
arlier measurement that have been eliminated in the present work. Resu
lts for D-3(+) and HCO+ DR are also reported.
