Abstract

For center-of-mass electron energies ≤0.08 eV (∼1000 K) nearly all electron-ion dissociative recombination cross sections thus far measured by us follow the

E^{- 1}

dependence predicted by theory. This corresponds to a

{T_{e}}^{- 0.5}

temperature dependence of the reaction-rate coefficient.
