Abstract
We measured the product-state distribution and its dependence on the hydrogen isotope for the mutual neutralization between O+16 and H−1,2 at the double electrostatic ion-beam storage ring DESIREE for center-of-mass collision energies below 100 meV. We find at least six product channels into ground-state hydrogen and oxygen in different excited states. The majority of oxygen products populate terms corresponding to 2s22p3(4S∘)4s with S∘5 as the main reaction product. We also observe product channels into terms corresponding to 2s22p3(4S)3p. Collisions with the heavier hydrogen isotope yield a branching into these lower excited states smaller than collisions with H−1. The observed reaction products agree with the theoretical predictions. The detailed branching fractions, however, differ between the theoretical results, and none of them fully agree with the experiment.
