Description
The total Charge Transfer cross section in D2+ + H collision have been previously measured at ORNL. However, these measurements were not able to resolve the vibrational state-to-state calculations at low collision energies. The most important missing information is the ro-vibrational state distribution of the molecular ions produced by the ECR ion source. In the merged-beam technique, an intense molecular ion beam is generated using an ECR source and merged with a beam of ground state atomic hydrogen. In this poster, we present our attempt to identify the predominant states by comparing the measured cross section with the state-to-state calculations.
