Ion and Electron Interactions at Thermal and Suprathermal Energies

Abstract

The flowing afterglow/Langmuir probe (FALP) and the selected ion flow drift tube (SIFDT) apparatuses have been used to study (i) dissociative electron attachment reactions of several organo-halogen molecules, including the unstable radical species CCl3 and CCl2Br (ii) dissociative recombination reactions of several polyatomic positive ions, and preliminary data on the neutral products of several such reactions are reported (iii) the proton affinities of several molecular species and the collisional breakup of C2H5OH2(+) ions. Keywords: Electron attachment; Dissociative recombination; Ion-molecule reactions; Flowing afterglow; Langmuir probe; Selected ion flow drift tube.
