Abstract
In the following, we present results of experiments performed with hydrogen molecular ions, which (for the example of D2+) show that cooling can be achieved via super-elastic scattering with electrons. We also show some preliminary data related to the vibrational excitation of hydrogen molecular ions by electron impact, and discuss the general possibilities for manipulating the vibrational population of molecular ions using these techniques.
