Abstract
Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiation produces photodissociation regions (PDRs) on the surfaces of protoplanetary disks around low-mass stars, which affects planet formation within the disks. We report James Webb Space Telescope and Atacama Large Millimeter Array observations of a FUV-irradiated protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula. Emission lines are detected from the PDR; modeling their kinematics and excitation allowed us to constrain the physical conditions within the gas. We quantified the mass-loss rate induced by the FUV irradiation and found that it is sufficient to remove gas from the disk in less than a million years. This is rapid enough to affect giant planet formation in the disk.

Abstract
The dissociative recombination (DR) of H(3)(+) is a key process in interstellar chemistry. More than 30 experimental studies of the DR process have been published in the literature. The H(3)(+) DR rate coefficient results obtained from these measurements, however, have not always been consistent. The outcome seems to depend on the experimental method, on the exact measurement procedure and sometimes even on the interpretation of the experimental data. In the past two decades, heavy-ion storage rings have become the working horse for DR measurements, as they provide a direct measurement of the DR products. Furthermore, storage ring measurements yield energy-resolved rate coefficients with unprecedented resolution that allow for detailed comparison with theory. DR results from different storage ring facilities have shown a remarkable consistency throughout the years and they provide additional information on break-up dynamics and internal excitation. In this study, we will review the storage ring DR measurements that have been carried out for H(3)(+).

Abstract
We report on the recent observation of new spectral lines of cold H(3)(+) ions lying well in the visible spectral region. Transitions from the two lowest ro-vibrational levels to final levels up to 16,700 cm(-1), almost half way to the dissociation limit, have been measured, involving up to eight vibrational quanta. The observed transitions are more than six orders of magnitude less intense than the v(2)(1) fundamental band and yet another order of magnitude weaker than reached by previous sensitive action spectroscopy in the near-infrared region. The measurements were carried out in a cryogenic 22-pole ion trap with H(3)(+) ions cooled to their lowest rotational levels by helium buffer gas. Laser-induced chemical reactions lead to the formation of ArH(+) ions detected with single-ion sensitivity. These visible measurements, together with the previous near-infrared measurements, have helped to further develop empirically corrected calculations and have provided essential benchmarks for new ab initio calculations that now reach a spectroscopic accuracy of 0.1 cm(-1) on average up to the highest observed transition. Highly sensitive action spectroscopy and the attained high-accuracy predictions will enable us to find and measure transitions even further into the visible region of H(3)(+), paving the way towards the dissociation limit.

Abstract
First-principles computations and experimental measurements of transition energies are carried out for vibrational overtone lines of the triatomic hydrogen ion H(3)(+) corresponding to floppy vibrations high above the barrier to linearity. Action spectroscopy is improved to detect extremely weak visible-light spectral lines on cold trapped H(3)(+) ions. A highly accurate potential surface is obtained from variational calculations using explicitly correlated Gaussian wave function expansions. After nonadiabatic corrections, the floppy H(3)(+) vibrational spectrum is reproduced at the 0.1 cm(-1) level up to 16600 cm(-1).

Abstract
We present the results of a Coulomb explosion experiment that allows for the imaging of the rovibrational wave function of the metastable H2- ion. Our measurements confirm the predicted large internuclear separation of 6 a.u., and they show that the ion decays by autodetachment rather than by spontaneous dissociation. Imaging of the resulting H2 products reveals a large angular momentum of J = 25 ± 2, quantifying the rotation that leads to the metastability of this most fundamental molecular anion.

Abstract
Individual product channels in the dissociative recombination of deuterated hydronium ions and cold electrons are studied in an ion storage ring by velocity imaging using spatial and mass-sensitive detection of the neutral reaction fragments. Initial and final molecular excitation are analyzed, finding the outgoing water molecules to carry internal excitation of more than 3 eV in 90% of the recombination events. Initial rotation is found to be substantial and in three-body breakup strongly asymmetric energy repartition among the deuterium products is enhanced for hot parent ions.

Abstract
We have performed chemical probing spectroscopy of H(3) (+) ions trapped in a cryogenic 22-pole ion trap. The ions were buffer gas cooled to approximately 55 K by collisions with helium and argon. Excitation to states above the barrier to linearity was achieved by a Ti:sapphire laser operated between 11 300 and 13 300 cm(-1). Subsequent collisions of the excited H(3) (+) ions with argon lead to the formation of ArH(+) ions that were detected by a quadrupole mass spectrometer with high sensitivity. We report the observation of 17 previously unobserved transitions to states above the barrier to linearity. Comparison to theoretical calculations suggests that the transition strengths of some of these lines are more than five orders of magnitude smaller than those of the fundamental band, which renders them-to the best of our knowledge-the weakest H(3) (+) transitions observed to date.

Anisotropy and molecular rotation in resonant low-energy dissociative recombination. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2008; 100:193201.

Abstract
Angular fragment distributions from the dissociative recombination (DR) of HD(+) were measured with well directed monochromatic low-energy electrons over a dense grid of collision energies from 7 to 35 meV, where pronounced rovibrational Feshbach resonances occur. Significant higher-order anisotropies are found in the distributions, whose size varies along energy in a partial correlation with the relative DR rate from fast-rotating molecules. This may indicate a breakdown of the nonrotation assumption so far applied to predict angular DR fragment distributions.

Abstract
We have studied the dissociative recombination (DR) of molecular hydrogen ions with slow electrons over a range of collision energies from 0 to 400 meV. By employing a pulsed expansion source for rotational cooling and by exploiting super elastic collisions with near-0-eV electrons in a heavy ion storage ring for vibrational cooling, we observe a highly structured DR cross section, comparable to that reported for HD+. Using para-hydrogen-enriched ion beams, we identify for the first time features in the DR cross sections attributed to nu=0, J=even molecules (para-H2) and nu=0, J=odd (ortho-H2) molecules, separately. Indications are given that para levels have different DR rate coefficients from ortho levels for the first four vibrational levels at near-0-eV collisions.

Abstract
Dissociative recombination (DR) of the dimer ion (NO)(2) (+) has been studied at the heavy-ion storage ring CRYRING at the Manne Siegbahn Laboratory, Stockholm. The experiments were aimed at determining details on the strongly enhanced thermal rate coefficient for the dimer, interpreting the dissociation dynamics of the dimer ion, and studying the degree of similarity to the behavior in the monomer. The DR rate reveals that the very large efficiency of the dimer rate with respect to the monomer is limited to electron energies below 0.2 eV. The fragmentation products reveal that the breakup into the three-body channel NO+O+N dominates with a probability of 0.69+/-0.02. The second most important channel yields NO+NO fragments with a probability of 0.23+/-0.03. Furthermore, the dominant three-body breakup yields electronic and vibrational ground-state products, NO(upsilon=0)+N((4)S)+O((3)P), in about 45% of the cases. The internal product-state distribution of the NO fragment shows a similarity with the product-state distribution as predicted by the Franck-Condon overlap between a NO moiety of the dimer ion and a free NO. The dissociation dynamics seem to be independent of the NO internal energy. Finally, the dissociation dynamics reveal a correlation between the kinetic energy of the NO fragment and the degree of conservation of linear momentum between the O and N product atoms. The observations support a mechanism in which the recoil takes place along one of the NO bonds in the dimer.

Abstract
We present product state distributions and quantum yields from the dissociative recombination reaction of O2+ in its electronic and vibrational ground states as a function of electron collision energy between 0 and 300 meV. The experiments have been performed in the heavy-ion storage ring, CRYRING, and use a cold hollow-cathode discharge source for the production of cold molecular oxygen ions. The branching fractions over the different dissociation limits show distinct oscillations while the resulting product quantum yields are largely independent of electron collision energy above 40 meV. The branching results are well reproduced assuming an isotropic dissociation process, in contrast with recent theoretical predictions.

Abstract
We have studied the dissociative recombination of the first three vibrational levels of O(2) (+) in its electronic ground X (2)Pi(g) state. Absolute rate coefficients, cross sections, quantum yields and branching fractions have been determined in a merged-beam experiment in the heavy-ion storage ring, CRYRING, employing fragment imaging for the reaction dynamics. We present the absolute total rate coefficients as function of collision energies up to 0.4 eV for five different vibrational populations of the ion beam, as well as the partial (vibrationally resolved) rate coefficients and the branching fractions near 0 eV collision energy for the vibrational levels v=0, 1, and 2. The vibrational populations used were produced in a modified electron impact ion source, which has been calibrated using Cs-O(2)(+) dissociative charge transfer reactions. The measurements indicate that at low collision energies, the total rate coefficient is weakly dependent on the vibrational excitation. The calculated thermal rate coefficient at 300 K decreases upon vibrational excitation. The partial rate coefficients as well as the partial branching fractions are found to be strongly dependent on the vibrational level. The partial rate coefficient is the fastest for v=0 and goes down by a factor of two or more for v=1 and 2. The O((1)S) quantum yield, linked to the green airglow, increases strongly upon increasing vibrational level. The effects of the dissociative recombination reactions and super elastic collisions on the vibrational populations are discussed.
