Effects of the charge–dipole and charge–quadrupole interactions on the He+ + CO reaction rate coefficients at low collision energies

The reaction between He ^+ and CO forming He + C ^+ + O has been studied at collision energies in the range between 0 and k _B ⋅ 25 K. These low collision energies are reached by measuring the reaction within the orbit of a Rydberg electron after merging a beam of He( n ) Rydberg atoms and a superso...
