Towards state selective recombination of H3+ under astrophysically relevant conditions
We present studies on the thermalisation of H3+ ions in a cold He/Ar/H2 plasma at temperatures 30–70 K. We show that we are able to generate a rotationally thermalised H3+ ensemble with a population of rotational and nuclear spin states corresponding to a particular ion translational temperature. By...
