Abstract

Using an alternative technique to trap keV ion beams, the kinetic-energy release after dissociative charge transfer of vibrationally cold [Formula Presented] was measured. The results indicate that rapid radiative vibrational cooling takes place during the trapping, thus allowing a direct observation of the [Formula Presented] metastable state of [Formula Presented] which has been a subject of controversy in previous dissociative recombination experiments.
