Forbidden Electron Attachment in O2

Abstract

In collisions of electrons with molecules, an electron may be attached to a molecule forming a temporary negative ion or a negative compound state. The production of this compound state is governed by certain selection rules. In this paper, we study oxygen molecular systems in the gas and solid phases and identify, for the first time, the compound states which are forbidden by the sigma selection rule.
