Abstract
The H2- 2 Pi u resonance is used in an estimation of the cross section for dissociative electron attachment (DA) to the metastable c3 Pi u state of molecular hydrogen. The cross section is found to be substantially larger than that for DA to the low vibrational levels of the ground electronic state X1 Sigma g+. It appears that DA to c3 Pi u could play an important role in the production of the relatively high densities of negative ions in low-density hydrogenic plasma.Keywords
