Merged-beams experiments on molecular ion-neutral reactions for astrochemistry — •Pierre-Michel Hillenbrand1, Xavier Urbain2, and Daniel Wolf Savin31Justus-Liebig Universität, Giessen, Germany — 2Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium — 3Columbia University, New York, USA

The gas-phase formation of complex molecules in the interstellar medium proceeds dominantly through barrierless ion-neutral reactions at typical temperatures of 10−100 K. Our merged-beams apparatus operated at Columbia University in New York City enables us to measure energy-dependent absolute cross sections of molecular formation processes in reactions of singly-charged molecules with neutral atoms and derive temperature-dependent thermal rate coefficients for individual product channels. Focusing on key reactions implemented in astrochemical models as well as on systems of fundamental interest, we have recently studied the reactions D+H3+→ H2D+ + H [1], D+H2D+→ D2H+ + H and D+D2H+→ D3+ + H [2], C+H2+→ CH+ + H and C+D2+→ CD+ + D [3], as well as O+H3+→ OH+ + H2 and O+H3+→ H2O+ + H [4]. For example, the branching ratio of the O+H3+ reaction is relevant for accurately modeling the gas-phase formation of water in the diffuse and dense molecular clouds.
