Abstract
Branching ratios for dissociative recombination of molecular ions in the electronic ground state were measured by a molecular imaging technique at the heavy ion storage ring ASTRID. For , the branching ratios for the final channels were found to be ( ). The fact that the and channels dominate is in agreement with recent multichannel quantum-defect theory calculations. Implications for modeling of the Martian atmosphere are discussed.
