Abstract
Dissociative electron attachment to rovibrationally excited H-2, HD, HT, D- 2, DT, and T-2 molecules in their ground electronic states via the (2)Sigma (+)(u) shape resonance is studied within the framework of the nonlocal res onance theory. Rate constants for selected processes are presented in the e lectron energy range up to 5 eV. Maximum rate of 2.8x10(-8) cm(3) s(-1) is found for attachment to all these molecules.
