Abstract
A new technique for the measurement of dissociative-recombination cross section functions using an ion-trap apparatus has been applied to the recombination of H2+ and H3+ in the energy range 0.3-1.0 eV. The energy dependence of the dissociative-recombination cross section is measured to be E-1.15 and E-0.74 for e-H2+ and e-H3+ collisions, respectively. Good agreement is obtained with results from earlier experiments utilising inclined electron and ion beams.Keywords
