Dissociative recombination (DR) of molecular ions with electrons is one of the most complex
and least understood of atomic and molecular collision processes. First proposed in the …

This review covers the work of the three decades since the first spectroscopic identification
of the H 3+ molecular ion outside of the laboratory in 1988, in the auroral atmosphere of the …

The time-dependent gas-phase chemistry of deuterium fractionation in dense interstellar
clouds ranging in temperature between 10 and 70 K was investigated using a pseudo-time …

Collision processes among the constituents of low-temperature hydrogen plasmas (e, H, H+,
H−, H2, H+ 2, H+ 3) play a key role in technical plasma applications as well as in the …

THE H+ 3 ion is widely believed to play an important role in interstellar chemistry, by
initiating the chains of reactions that lead to the production of many of the complex molecular …

One of the most interesting events in astronomy during the last few decades has been the
discovery of many types of molecules in the diffuse and dense interstellar clouds which …

SINCE their detection in the high latitudes of Jupiter, first by the Voyager Ultraviolet
Spectrometer (UVS) experiment1, 2, then by the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IDE) …

The molecular ion H3+ is considered the cornerstone of interstellar chemistry because it
initiates the reactions responsible for the production of many larger molecules. Recently …

This paper presents the first dissociative recombination (DR) measurement of electrons with
rotationally and vibrationally cold H 3+ ions. A dc discharge pinhole supersonic jet source …

The densities of charged particles in ionization–recombination equilibrium are investigated
with some revised reaction rate coefficients. Especially the dissociative recombination rate of …
