Abstract: We have performed translational-spectroscopical measurements on single electron capture (SEC) by impact of slow (impact energy ≤ 1 keV) doubly charged ions on dinuclear molecules. For impact of C²⁺ and N²⁺ ions the influence of their metastable fractions on the SEC probability has been studied. For impact of ⁴He²⁺ on O₂ and CO direct and dissociative SEC have been investigated. For all collision systems studied the principal SEC channels can be explained by the "reaction window" which results from multichannel-Landau-Zener treatments for the collisional quasimolecules.

Keywords: Single electron capture; dissociative electron capture; doubly charged ions
