Abstract:
A statistical model serving to estimate the branching ratios in the dissociative recombination of polyatomic molecular ions is described. Simple phase-space assumptions are employed separately for the electronic capture step and the subsequent dissociation and yield predictions in good agreement with existing data on H-3(+). Also the vibrational state populations of molecular fragments can be obtained and for H-3(+) are found to agree well with recent measurements.
