Abstract

We have applied both angular and energy distribution measurements of the collision-induced dissociation of a-few-keV

H_{3}

^{+}

in He to estimate the binding energy of the triatomic molecular ion

H_{3}

^{+}

. Our measured value of 6.3±0.5 eV below the dissociation energy agrees well with previous theoretical predictions and experiment.
