Temperature Dependences of Cross Sections and Rates of Dissociative Excitation of Kr-2(+) Ions by Electron Impact

Specific features of the cross sections and rate constants of the electron-impact dissociative excitation of Kr-2(+) molecular ions are studied in a wide range of gas and electron temperatures. It is found that an increase in the gas temperature results in a significant change in the dependence of the cross sections on the incident electron energy. The efficiencies of dissociative recombination with Rydberg state population and the dissociative excitation of Kr-2(+) ions are compared.
