Dissociation of electronically excited D_3O to O+D_2+D from the glancing charge transfer reaction of D_3O~+ with H_2O

摘要

A method based on a microchannel plate particle detector's output pulse height distributions has been used to specify the masses of product fragments in the glancing collisional charge transfer reaction of D_3O~+ with H_2O. The predominant product channel involves D_3O -> O+D_2+D.
