Electron-Impact Dissociation of CH2+ Ions: Measurement of CH+ and C+ Fragment Ions

Journal Article · · Physical Review A
Absolute cross sections for electron-impact dissociation of CH2+ producing CH+ and C+ fragment ions were measured in the 3-100 eV range using a crossed electron-ion beams technique with total uncertainties of about 11% near the cross section peak. The cross sections are nearly identical for energies above 15 eV, but they are dramatically different at lower energies. The CH+ channel exhibits a strong peak rising from an observed threshold of about 6 eV; the C+ channel is relatively flat down to the lowest measured energy. Ionization cross sections for the CH2+ ion are also presented.
