Abstract
The dissociative recombination of BH2 + has been studied at the storage ring CRYRING. The branching fraction analysis shows that dissociative recombination is dominated by the two-body BH+H channel constituting 56% of the total reactivity with the B+H+H and B+H2 channels being 35 and 9%, respectively. Both the measured reaction rate and fragmentation behavior are different than for previously studied XH2 + ions, which react both faster and predominantly dissociate through the full fragmentation channel. Explanations for such observations are discussed.
