Dissociative recombination and excitation of O-2(+): Cross sections, product yields and implications for studies of ionospheric airglows

The dissociative recombination (DR) and the dissociative excitation (DE) of O2+ were experimentally studied using a heavy ion storage ring. The 300 K thermal rate coefficient was deduced. Experimental, theoretical, and observational arguments indicate that the O(1S) quantum yield equals the O(1)+O(1...
