Dissociative recombination of HCO+ : Sixth International Conference on Dissociative Recombination: Theory, Experiments and Applications

• We report on ab initio calculations relevant for dissociative recombination of HCO+. From accurate quantum chemistry calculations, it is found that the electron collision is driven by capture into Rydberg states. The Renner-Teller effect is not important for higher Rydberg states. From calculated potentials, the effective quantum numbers are fitted in three dimensions. The model of the electron collision is simplified using an adiabatic approximation, where one of the Jacobi coordinates is treated adiabatically. Then the electron collision is described using two different theoretical methods. Preliminary results on autoionization widths for Rydberg states and dissociative recombination cross section are given.
