The process of dissociative recombination with production of strongly excited atoms in collisions between electrons of energy 1--13 eV and molecular ions is considered. The recombination cross sections are calculated for the system e+H/sub 2//sup ts+/ (D/sub 2//sup ts+/) with formation of excited atoms in states with n> or =3 for different vibrational states of H/sub 2//sup ts+/ (D/sub 2//sup ts+/). The calculation results are compared with the available experimental measurements. The transition from the quantum description of the motion of the nuclei in dissociative recombination to the classical description is indicated.
