Long-range vs. short-range effects in cold molecular ion-neutral collisions: Charge exchange of Rb with N${}_2^{+}$ and O${}_2^{+}$

Alexander D. Dörfler, Pascal Eberle, Debasish Koner +3

We report a study of cold charge-transfer (CT) collisions of Rb atoms with N${}_2^{+}$ and O${}_2^{+}$ ions in the mK regime using a dynamic ion-neutral hybrid trapping experiment. State-…
