SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
ABSTRACTThe dissociative recombination of NA+(D 2 0) ion has been studied at the heavy-ion storage ring CRYRING (Manne Siegbahn Laboratory, Stockholm University). The cross section has been measured as a function of center-of-mass energy ranging from 1 meV to 0.1 eV and found to have an E-1. 37 dependence. The rate coefficient has been deduced to be (2.3 ± 0.32) x 10-7 (Tý1300)-°.95-a.° cm 3 ms-for Te= 50-1000 K. The branching ratios have been mesured at 0 eV. Of the four energetically accessivble dissociation channels, three channels are found to occur although the channel that breaks the weak Nat--D 2 O bond is by far dominant.
