The dissociative recombinations of (HeH+)-He-3, (HeH+)-He-4, (HeD+)-He-3 and (HeD+)-He-4 were studied with an extremely low-temperature electron beam of the order of 1 meV produced by a superconducting electron cooler at the storage ring TARN II. The dissociative recombination spectra show a fine new structure and a clear isotope dependence in the low-energy region. Those features are well reproduced by the theoretical calculations based on a multichannel quantum-defect theory including rotational motion and discretized dissociative states. According to the theory, the newly observed structure is evidence for a new indirect mechanism where the intermediate states are not vibrationally excited Rydberg states but virtual dissociative states.

A superconducting electron cooler with an adiabatic expansion factor of 100 was designed and constructed at the TARN II ring for high-precision experiments and high-speed cooling. The gun solenoid is a liquid-helium-free superconducting magnet with a 20-cm room-temperature bore, which can produce a high magnetic field of up to 3.5 T An electron beam is expanded from a diameter of 5 mm to 50 mm in a gradually decreasing solenoid field from 3.5 T to 0.035 T With this cooler it can be expected to reach an electron temperature on the order of 1 meV. The cooler first came into operation in November, 1996. The spectrum of the dissociative recombination, (HeH+)-He-3+e-->He-3+H, clearly showed a dramatic decrease in the electron-beam temperature compared with our previous data measured at an expansion factor of 10 with a normal-conducting solenoid.

The doubly excited states of molecular hydrogen have been studied by means of electron-energy-loss spectroscopy in coincidence with the detection of H(2p) formation at 80 eV incident energy and 3 degrees scattering angle. This is the first observation of doubly excited states of H-2 in electron energy-loss spectra. It is shown that a forbidden doubly excited state makes a large contribution as well as allowed states. The measured spectrum has been analysed by theoretical fits based on the reflection approximation.
