Recombination and Reactions in Dense Ionized Gases.

Influence of ion-atom collisions on the recombination of electrons

“…However, its contribution to the recombination has so far been neglected in the literature (see e.g. Flannery 1990 or Schneider et al 1991). The process (lb) should not be mixed up with the process of three-particle recombination A + + B + e + A*+ B where the third particle is a neutral atom B (Pitajevskij 1962).…”
