Reactive collisions between electrons and molecular cations -major processes strongly contribute to the kinetics of various reactive gases – mainly interstellar molecular clouds, media involved in the Early Universe, edge fusion plasma. Multichannel quantum defect theory(MQDT) is able to provide reliable cross sections and rate coefficients for dissociative recombination (DR), ro-vibrational excitation(RVE), dissociative excitation (DE) for electron/molecular cation collisions.
