Abstract
Accurate calculations of several electronically excited states of H3which are important in dissociative recombination of H3+are reported. These surfaces allow discussion of the dissociation products. For electron energies above 1 eV the dominant product is expected to be vibrationally excited H2(X1Sigmag+)+H(2s or 2p). The threshold for directly producing H-from ground state H3+is predicted to be 5.8 eV.
