Dissociative electron attachment to carbon dioxide via the ^2Î _u shape resonance
arXiv:1305.5002 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.88.032703
Abstract
Momentum imaging measurements from two experiments are presented and interpreted with the aid of new ab initio theoretical calculations to describe the dissociative electron attachment (DEA) dynamics. We address the problem of how the 4 eV ^2Π_u shape resonance in CO_2 proceeds to dissociate to CO(^1Σ^+) + O^-(^2P) by DEA.
