Abstract
Absolute cross sections for electron-impact dissociation of O3+ ions yielding O+ and O2+ fragment ions have been measured using a crossed electron-ion beams method for energies from about 3 eV to 100 eV. While the O2+ channel dominates the dissociation cross section over the measured energy range, a strong enhancement is observed in the O+ channel at low energy.
