The dissociative recombination of ground state OH ϩ ions with electrons has been measured, using the heavy-ion storage ring technique. A comparison of the cross section to recent theoretical results reveals that several observed resonances are due to a type of indirect dissociative recombination involving Rydberg states with a bound excited ion core.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
