The effect of molecular vibration on charge transfer between H2+and H2

Abstract
Charge transfer between H2+ ions in specific vibrational states and H2 molecules has been investigated within the energy range 8-1000 eV using photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy. Results up to the sixth vibrational level show that cross sections vary significantly with vibrational energy in a complicated manner which is not in accord with multistate impact parameter theory.
