Abstract
Energy spectra and angular distributions of the O+ and O +2 product ions resulting from the He+-O2 charge transfer reaction have been measured in the collision energy range 0.5–200 eV using the crossed-beam method. The O +2 ions represent only a minor fraction of the reaction products (0.2–0.6% over the energy range measured). In the dissociative charge transfer reaction, four main processes are identified leading to O+O+ reaction products in different electronic states. Two different mechanisms can be distinguished, each being responsible for two of the observed processes:(i) a long-distance energy-resonant charge transfer process involving thec 4∑ − u (v′=0) state of O +2 and(ii) a slightly exothermic charge transfer process via the (III)2∏ u state of O +2 (with the exothermicity depending on the collision energy). Angle-integrated branching ratios and partial cross sections (in absolute units) have been determined. The branching ratios of the individual processes show a pronounced dependence on the collision energy. At low energies, the O+ product ions are preferentially formed in the2 P 0 and2 D 0 excited states. The angular distributions of the O+ product ions show an anisotropic behaviour indicating an orientation-dependent charge transfer probability in the He+ −O2 reaction.
